Sorry man, I was just trying to send business your way.

Do you by any chance know the web address of The Byte Works so that
I can replace the SSII references with it?  Depending if the type
of license is free or not, might you want to consider getting a new
license?  SSII is an extremely valuable resource and it just makes
sense to make it so that users can get System Software from there,
but that's your choice, of course.  I wish you continued success.

Would a local user group have the same problem as you?  Wouldn't their
license be like yours, or would they be like those of Byte Works.

I'm just trying to get things straightened out so that Nate won't
jump down my throught every time I try to help someone get GS/OS.  :)
