Someone posted a request for Halloween bitmaps. Then he posted a message that he had some, but I missed the message that had the bitmaps in it. Was it posted? Mitch x

I'm looking for interesting bitmaps to use for backgrounds on a monochrome
system. I already have access to the ones on decwrl, which are dated 1988.
I would be particulary interested any good Nagels (I already have kristen and
peidmont). Ftp is ok.

Don't confuse the problems of software copyright law with that
established for photographs, art and writing. I don't believe
there any people who produce the above that don't believe in the
usefullness of copyright law. Copyright law really was developed to
protect the individual artist from being ripped off.

Sony makes well over 1000 items from home entertainment products to computers to professional audio and video products. Why would the opinion of one employee in one division making a single product make you decide not to buy a Sony product? I may not agree with your opinion on something, but that's not going to affect my attitude about Florida Atlantic University, Boca Raton, Florida, or anything like that. -- ...David Elliott ...dce@smsc.sony.com | ...!{uunet,mips}!sonyusa!dce ...(408)944-4073 ..."Art is never fair" - paa

It's when you start making many copies and distributing them that you're no longer being fair to the copyright holder. I don't mind paying the artist (and production company) for his work and the copyright law insures that happens. The alternative seems far more abusive. --pete Pete Ware / Biosym / San Diego CA / (619) 546-5532 email: pete@biosym.com
