There's a rumor that the author of the Ultra utilities passed away, and that the company he worked for has no one to support this program. The rumor thus declares the Ultra Utilities as freeware. Can anyone authoritatively confirm or deny this? Regards, Ed Starr

This info. for users of ULTRA UTILITIES was printed in the April '87 newsletter of THE PUBLIC (software) LIBRARY: "We were recently informed by Ron White of San Antonio that the author of "Ultra Utilities" died some time ago. Reportedly, he did not leave usable source code, so his business associates are no longer able to support the program." -- Carolyn Kotlas (kotlas@ecsvax) UNC-Educational Computing Service P. O.
