OK, OK... when *Sun* is sold out, then.  I suppose your point
is that a "pirate" might not be aware of additional outlets
for the software.  Fair enough; that falls under my "due
diligance" rule.

P.S.  There seems to be lots of triplication of messages in csa2,
      my own included.  This doesn't seem to be a problem with my
      site; anyone got any ideas?  The reposts seem to have a
      "footer" appended to them.
