I can't say if the system software is available via anonymous ftp or not,
but it should not be. The Apple license requires that each user read an end
user agreement and respond positively to it and that the distributor keep a
record of each downloader's name and address.

Funny, Apple seems to be blissfully unaware of that fact. :) Last I checked, System 6.0.5 was available for ftp from apple.com (apple.apple.com from some places). Look in /pub/dts/sw.license. There's a license agreement there that you should read, but all the System 6.0.5 disks are there, as well as the newest EtherTalk Installer(2.0.1) and CD-ROM Setup(3.0.1), and the DiskCopy application you need to unpack the things. -- Internet: phaedrus@u.washington.edu (University of Washington, Seattle) The views expressed here are not those of this station or its management.

The restrictions were that you had to read the end user agreement in the same place. Of course, only apple can do this. >-- >Patricia O'connor - via FidoNet node 1:125/777 > UUCP: ...!uunet!hoptoad!fidogate!161!555!Patricia.O'connor >INTERNET: Patricia.O'connor@f555.n161.z1.FIDONET.ORG -- James F.
