I do not make policy at SIMTEL20.  I just work for them.  If you have
complaints about SIMTEL20 policies, the address to write to is:

    Action@WSMR-SIMTEL20.ARMY.MIL (SIMTEL20 Administrators)

I can tell you this:  there are those who would like to see SIMTEL20
shut down and they are looking for any excuse.  Putting a program on
SIMTEL20 that may violate the laws governing exports to countries on
the "restricted list" could give them the excuse to shut SIMTEL20 down.
I think that most people would not insist that SIMTEL20 take that chance.

The proper way to handle this problem is to work to have the law changed.
Perhaps a letter to your congressman would help.
