 Apple's handling of MacTCP seems to me to be a real **** up. If I ask
my local AppleCentre about it I can't get it. If I ring Apple UK they
don't know anything about it and someone digs up a US phone number.
Meanwhile it's legally available on anonymous ftp from
zaphod.ncsa.uiuc.edu (you read it here folks) together with a notice
saying you can only use it with one (free) product. 

 These must be the same people who decided athena could put crypt() on
ftp provided there was a notice asking us not to use it as it would
violate US national security :-)
