With >discounts for CIS, GEnie, DOW Jones, etc... Quite true. My publisher bundles my program with a FREE CompuServe subscription + $15 usage credit (you can try it out, download what ou want, and then cancel); the same deal as with CIS for the Source (now part of CIS); 30-days unlimited usage and free subscription for OAG (Official Airline Guide); free subscription and one free hour online with Dow Jones News/Retrieval; $30 free online time for NewNet. You should be able to find similar coupons with other commercial comm programs and modems (I recall the SupraModem comes with the coupons, too). So, please stop whining. CBM should be commended for having tried to do what they have done with the electronic distribution of WB 1.3.2. I hope they don't get too defensive now. If I had known that posting the license on Usenet would have produced all this CRAP, I wouldn't have posted it. I tend to agree with that guy that said that whatever CBM does (good or bad) people here tend to complain anyway. Sigh :-( So, let's change subject, please. -- Marco Papa 'Doc' -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= uucp:...!pollux!papa BIX:papa ARPAnet:pollux!papa@oberon.usc.edu "There's Alpha, Beta, Gamma, Diga and Caligari!" -- Rick Unland -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=

Marco Papa says cut the baloney and I'm with him.
Commodore certainly has the most human face of any large
PC manufacturer and I'd like to thank them in general and Andy Finkel
in particular for pushing this thing onto the Big Boards as fast and
as clean as they did. They coulda made us *pay* for it!
It ain't fashionable to run down Commodore anymore, it's passe'.
