I just saw a version of 'uucp' being sold by the company that makes the MT C Shell. I also noticed in the credits for uucp in the manual, that it was ported to the ST from C Code by the GNU Freeware people. My question is: Is it ethical for someone to port freeware code from one one computer to another, and then sell the ported code?? The 'uucp' sold for $49.95 and has a very skimpy manual. About 10 pages in the small manual sized pages. Richard (gtephx!covertr) Covert
