There was discussion about this a few months ago: Mac-In-Dos is a *COMMERCIAL*
program that was pirated and illegally loaded onto some FTP sites. All the
common FTP sites removed it as soon as they were made aware of the program's
status. If you are aware of the program's existence at an FTP site, please
inform the site's administrator so that the program can be removed. This saves
FTP sites from the risk of prosecution, etc.
If you have obtained Mac-In-Dos illegally, please do the right thing and
purchase a legal copy of what is reported to be an excellent product.

Thanks,
