It's probably evident to everyone but you, but I'll point out that ProLine, like any other publicly accessible system, allows callers to upload anything they want. That results in nearly every system receiving pirated software at one time or another. (I find yet another copy of ProTerm in my library at relatively frequent intervals!) ProLine never "releases" the uploads until the operator has verified that they're legitimate, and your message (finally!) shows that this obviously hasn't been done. That's a far cry from your first message, which would lead people to believe that you know of ProLine sites that are "distributing" such software. > I keep calling to see if the sysop is going to make that avialable to > the masses or to delete it..Im interested in what his choice will be... Why do you do that? Trying to get a copy for yourself? Knowing a little about the site you named, I'd suggest that you're wasting both your time and your money, but please, continue to have at it! Hopefully, the sysop there (wen@pro-sat) will read this and leave the file in the library (and "on hold") just for you.

What? And use valuable disk space to play cat and mouse? Nay, I suggest deleting the file but leaving the description entry "on hold" for them ;) I figure if you can't have any fun running one of these things why run it? ______________________________________________________________________________ paul@pro-europa.cts.com | "Open the pod bay door HAL" ...!crash!pnet01!pro-nsfmat!pro-europa!paul | "Sorry Dave, I can't do that"

More likely he'll leave the names (only) in the directory to limit having his phone lines tied up by 'enthusiasts' uploading (again and again) that which he does not want.
