   Tip: there have been major, content neutral ftp sites for Apple II
software for several years: apple2.caltech.edu, *.isca.uiowa.edu, and
others. Further, if you read the release announcement for this (and
pretty much any other program I've done), you'll have noted that I
listed a site with all of my programs: ftp.ugcs.caltech.edu,
pub/nathan

   Thus, I said precisely where to get it when it was announced. In
the distribution notes in the file itself, I mentioned that it may be
passed around and archived at most, but not all sites. As I did not
restrict any of the major sites, people can still get my stuff just
fine.

   If people want to check for the latest stuff, go to
comp.binaries.apple2, apple2.caltech.edu, or g*nd.isca.uiowa.edu.
It's been that way for years. It's not changing.
