Actually, the program was no longer available on Asimov minutes after your
request, Joe.  You seem to have intentionally misunderstood me.

For the curious, the program in question was Checkworks and it lived in
ftp://ftp.apple.asimov.net/pub/apple_II/images/utility/word_processing/

While there are still two files with the names Checkworks1.dsk.gz and
Checkworks2.dsk.gz in this directory, they are no longer available for
download.  Leaving the files there, but setting the permissions so that
they can no longer be accessed helps guarantee that these programs won't
reappear at a later date.  Deleting the files entirely was not effective,
since someone would often upload the files into the incoming directory
months later and they would get moved into the images file hierarchy.

So, the program _was_ removed from the site Joe ... no one can download
it and impact the revenue stream you generate from the sale of Checkworks.
