It is clear from recent mail that I have received that commercial
PrintMaster are getting mixed up with PD icons.  Since I run a BBS this
is something I have to be careful about, and I thought it might help to
identify the three commercial libraries that I am familiar with.  Here
is a list of the first 4 icons in the three library disks published by
Unison World.  If you have a library that begins with these icons, it is
probably pirated.

PrintMaster, usually called SLIB or STANDARD library:
	Christmas Tree, Menorah, Cake, Easter

Art Gallery I, usually called ULIB
	Santa, Snowflake, Star of David, Black Cat

Art Gallery II, usually called GALLERY2
	Snow Scene, Conductor, Crown of Thorns, I Forget

I don't have the commercial Fonts and Borders disk, so I can't comment
on what is PD in that area.

To tell the truth, the Art Gallery series is pretty crummy, and the PD
libraries are better.  I bought them cheap and still felt ripped off.
However, copyright is copyright.
