Re: Asimov performs a valuable service; so why fight over it

Below is a reply I got from the webmaster there. It appears that they will
take action when advised of copywrited software on their site. Now will it
really be gone? Since I don't have any way to check the site out other
then try an FTP.

If anyone out there is using GBBS and did not pruchase it I would sugest
contacting me. I'm not trying to make a mint, just pay for what it costs
me. The cost of a program is not that much and you do get full support and
soon a Web site for the few GBBS system still around and kicking.
