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, Graeme Cross chegc@lure.latrobe.edu.au No .sig today...
