   Hypercard GS _NOT_ on Caltech. I have email from Dan Zimmerman,
maintainer of said archive and he verified preciesly what I said: it's
system software, and only available on ftp.apple.com. I would bet that
the isca.uiowa.edu archivers will say precisely the same.

opening your mouth the first time, and definitely before trying to flame
