    Why bother to ask csa2 ? Just do it !

Willie,
Have we suffered some sort of communication breakdown here?
If you'd try to read my posted request a bit more diligently and carefully,
perhaps it would become evident to you in comprehension that;

(A) I can't just do it.

(B) Because, the author asked me to give him the collective feedback on this
from replies from this newsgroup before he decides either to do it or not to do
it.  He want's to see what everybody thinks of it and if they think releasing
it into the public domain with the entire src. codes for it would be of any
useful value to the A2 community.

(C) I don't currently even have the src. codes for SonoBox.  The author has
them.  He is the only person thatdoes have them.  If he likes the reply
collectives that I'll send him by email, then he very likely will give me a
letter of release for the program and its src. codes to public domain with an
email reply and send me the src. codes for it in an email reply by external
email attachments in ShrinkIt archive file format.

In which case I would then release the program and it's src. code to public
domain by uploading such to Ground and the other Apple II ftp sites - with his
email release authorization and his email address, should anybody care to
varify the release as public domain by emailing the author.

I trust this all makes it completely clear as to the need for readers of this
newsgroup to post their thoughts, comments and replies on the matter, in a
positive and detailed manner so that this can happen!

I look forward to some other more thought worthy replies, comments,  positive
and comprehensive feedback, so that I can send them to Tony Morales via email -
that could convience Tony Morales of the usefulness and value in releasing his
program and its src. codes to public domain - via me.

If I haven't made the matters clear enough with this post and reply, I don't
know what else to say.

Cheers,
Tom
