    That's why it sounds wierd when he said it's 'Freeware'. It's technically
free for any Apple IIGS users who wishes to download System 6.01 & System 5.04,
HyperCard GS 1.1 on the Apple's FTP sites so long as they read AND accept the
Apple licence.

    Anyway, if anyone looks at the Treasure Chest Project page where I link a
number of Apple's 'free download files
(http://www.tals.dis.qut.edu.au/staff/willie/treasurechest), I specificy written
there to 'Read the License' and brings them to Apple's FTP site. An Apple
employee (let's not name who it was !) did question me about me 'having Apple
software on my site for distribution', he suddenly realised that I linked it to
Apple's FTP site and withdrew what he had said. I din't blame him, I don't have a
license to redistribute, but it din't stop me from pointing it out to where it is
legal to download it.
