You know Tom,

If it is indeed true that the versions of checkworks that were available on 
asimov were at one time public domain/shareware, then it would confirm my 
hunches all along.

If it is true, I think Mr.Kohn owes the admin of asimov an apology, and also 
owes the entire CSA2 community a long apology for once again proving to the 
world that things are not as clear cut as he would like them to be. 

Hiding relevent details about the nature of his complaints and making blanket 
piracy statements has no place in this newsgroup.
