Re: What is ProSel?

[chucknewby@aol.com (ChuckNewby)]

<<Sigh>>  The basic text file describing ProSel-8 and ProSel-16 was written
several years ago, and recently modified regarding Public Domain Status.  The
freeware mention resulted from some minor quibbling over Freeware vs. Public
Domain and I was pointing out that the programs were more like Freeware.  I
have since asked Glen if we should pull the Public Domain notice and start
over, put it back in Public domain with better ground rules, change to
Freeware, or just keep them hidden under a rock.  Glen & I both felt that we
should not change anything about the Public Domain authorization.  Anything
Freeware should be removed from my message, as re-written below.

Should I also start copyrighting my comments?  ;-)

* September 1999 will end 10 years that Charlie's AppleSeeds has published and
sold ProSel and ProSel-16 for Glen Bredon. Demand for things Apple II is almost
nonexistent and for that reason, I asked for and was granted, by E-mail,
permission to announce that ProSel and ProSel-16 will be moved to the Public
Domain. (See Glen Bredon's message below) 

Upgrades by disk and new copies by disk will be $10, regardless whether it is
ProSel 8 or ProSel-16. This will cover my costs for materials, time and effort
and postage.

included in all prices. I will split whatever net I get from this, with Bredon,
as usual.
