I say Affimative on that, and on the (below statement) fact that
it is most times impossible to reach original authors/publishers
for release. However there is a protocol which is followed by
certain individuals that I have become affiliated with, on not only
a personal and/or business level, who would be a bit upset should
I do this. I feel it necessary to give it a good shot first, and if after
a few attempts at reaching these individuals there is no response,
then I will conclude that they no longer have any interest in the
software and go ahead with the posting. I agree with what is being
stated below and will do all I can to get Publish-It back into full
circulation. ;-)
