And, I am somehow dishonest huh ?? This is a severe insult, but, DO YOU HAVE ANY IDEA WHAT YOU ARE TALKING ABOUT ?? The code for the interpreter is available from Springer-Verlag for a minimal fee, and to my knowledge, it is copyright, but has no distribution restrictions on it... [I do not have the software, so I cannot tell for sure whether or not it is distributable.] If it is not distributable, despite its availability from the publisher, I would not want it casually, and would order it myself. For the record, I do not pirate software, I do not use/hack even GNU software because I do not *agree* with its conditions, nor do I distribute software that is non-distributable, and believe me, I have distributed a *lot* over the years. >Bill Hutchison, DP Consultant rutgers!cbmvax!burdvax!Grumpy!wgh >Unisys UNIX Portation Center "What one fool can do, another can!" ----------------------------------- Point well made, albeit somewhat ironically. ^^^^ Your apology is accepted in advance. oz -- To err is human; | Usenet: ...!utzoo!yunexus!oz to really foul things up takes | ...uunet!mnetor!yunexus!oz SUN and AT&T... | Bitnet: oz@[yulibra|yuyetti] anon. | Phonet: +1 416 736-5257x3976
