Clipper users (DOS) out there may be interested to know that Tom Rettig
has released the current, and apparently the last, version of his
add-on library (version 1.20) into the Public Domain.  He is distributing
a .ZIP file of it to BBS's around the country.  This text is provided:

"TRL4CL.ZIP is the same award-winning software that sold thousands
of copies at $99.95.  In 1986, this was the first third-party library
developed for Clipper, FoxBASE+ and dBASE III PLUS.  All rights were
released into the Public Domain by Tom Rettig Associates on October
22, 1990.  Works with both Clipper 5.0 and Summer '87, and includes
complete source code."  [ mostly C, some .ASM ]

In an era of increasing of increasing software litigation and
protectiveness, this is very interesting.
