Oh come on folks.. Beagle decides to give its oldies away to its customers and you guys are complaining about not being able to upload it anywhere. You sound as if Beagle made that decision at the last possible minute. Beagle has its reasons, that fact is you (or even I) don't need to know them. I think folks should just be glad they can get some of the great products at an incredibly low price (the price of a LD phone call). Mark Munz

Yes, I agree. It's nice that Beagle even offers the oldies on a bbs.
Is anyone still hacking basic with Beagle stuff? I know I've sure had some
fun with it.

I doubt anyone is complaining, it's just that Beagle's policy is one
thing in their catalog, and another according to Beagle employees. I think
it would be nice to know which is right.
Heck, I think it's great that Beagle is doing what it's doing, noone can
argue with that or with Beagles other qualities. But this policy needs
clearing up. That's all I think anyone is asking.
I'm not speaking for everyone, so if someone disagrees with me, say so.
Then again, I doubt I had to say that... ;-)

For those who missed it twice, you get to read it when you call Pro-Beagle at 619/558-6151 and download the disks. The reader's digest version in the catalog does not conflict with the restrictions listed in the download area on pro-beagle, though it doesn't go into detail like the agreement found on-line. It's like the copyright page of any manual -- you don't find that printed with every program description in a catalog, do you? For those of you who were complaining about a long distance phone call, quit whining. It doesn't take forever and cost an arm and a leg to download a disk or two. Call up and log in with the name "dl", a public account that automatically enters the Beagle Oldies transfer section. From the Beagle Oldies prompt, you have three options -- list files, download a file, and quit (hangup.) All files are are in ShrinkIt 140k disk format. ShrinkIt is also available in the Beagle Oldies section if you don't already have it.
