OK: This is the 34th of 45 messages in this thread and the above suggestion
will be immediatedly considered.  I don't know if I'll bother Glen with it or
just do it.  If the last 34 messages (and I don't know that the rest of the
thread will be much better) are any indication of where the Apple II community
is, I almost wish I had just let the program die rather than get Glen's
permission to release into PD.

After I calm down, I'll consider what I think should be done. 

I will say this:  Neither ProSel-16 nor ProSel 8 should be uploaded to ANY
online service without the official release note from BOTH me and Glen Bredon,
nor should ANY version of ProSel-16 or ProSel 8 be made available to the public
unless is is the FINAL version.  If you have any problem with that, you have a
serious problem with me.  Having said that, I can also say regardless how we
decide to proceed, that NO version of ProSel-16 or ProSel 8 will include Bev
Cadieux' copyrighted Y2K patches.  The simple reason is that Glen Bredon has no
right to release her work as part of his release of his programs.
