	Apparently the UUCico code still has a lot of GNU code in it,
    which means nobody can legally *sell* it.

	Thus, since it is as such, and since I want to distribute Getty
    with my fixed UUCico, Getty will be made Freeware.  I intend to post
    the UUCico / Getty to the moderator in a couple days... as soon as
    it gets tested a little more.

	By the way, I've rewritten much of UUCico... completely rewrote
    the G protocol (which is an aweful protocol by the way :-( Yich).
    The implementation was even worse (it was the original GNU code).
