This past week I finally connected with Peter Stephen Heitman, the author
of the PICNIX collection of unix-like utilities for the PC. I told him
that there had been a resurgence of interest in PICNIX on the net over
the past two months and that several people had had their registration
checks returned by the Postal Service. A portion of his response follows:
I would really appreciate your letting people on USENET know
where I am. I have not had access to USENET since I left HP
in Colorado over 1.5 years ago, so did not see the flurry of
activity that you mention. If you could post my current
address to USENET, I would be thankful.

[...] I have produced an update to PiCnix, Ver 3.x (now up
to 3.2) that fixes a few bugs, makes a few semantic changes
(i.e., I don't force accesses to other disks to be starting
from the / directory - I allow the current directory on the
drive to be used, I removed support for processing the
accent grave ` since it took so much code in each utility, I
added support for the environment variables PICNIX_FNCASE
and PICNIX_SWITCHAR to allow control of the case filenames
are printed as and the switchar used by picnix. Now you
don't have to use switchar.exe which would conflict with
some programs).

So all the folks who have tried to register their copies of PICNIX finally
have a current address. I have a copy of Ver 3.2 on its way to me, and I
will post it to comp.binaries.ibm.pc as soon as it arrives.
