Their policy on these programs may have changed, but last time I checked, they weren't in the public domain, but were free for downloading. However, you aren't allowed to upload the files anywhere else. The programs they have over there are very interesting, but most of are limited use these days, since most of the neat stuff works with DOS 3.3 only. >!~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~! >!

Wasn't a big stink raised here about a year and a half ago when Beagle Bros (_not_ "Beagle Brothers") first made their older stuff available on Pro-Beagle? 1) It's not PD. It's freeware. PD != Freeware. 2) It can't be posted to comp.binaries or uploaded to an FTP site. The only place where you can download it for "free" is directly from Pro-Beagle. (Some of the commercial services, such as GEnie, also have the Beagle Classics.) Your local Beagle Buddy might have these programs available. (Maybe this should go in the FAQ if it isn't already there.)
