	I just was wondering about the SoftAT demo.  I got this from 
sumex-aim(supposedly the authority in Macintosh free/shareware) 
 and though it was really full-featured.  I just supposed that someday 
it would disappear since it was a demo and it is sold for much $$$.  
Well, when I looked at the sites again (to see if the demo was only in 
a limited release)it was nowhere to be found.  I mailed a letter to an 
archivist of the umich archives.  He said that the demo was the REAL 
thing and had been removed.  This is totally amazing.  If you were to 
go to the store SoftAT would cost over $200.  But at least from 
October to December it has been hopping along the net for anyone to 
take for free??  Of course the taking(like in my case) was under the 
pretense of a demonstration model so maybe when I ran into enough 
money(and liked the program) could eventually buy it.
 
	But the proliferation of this 100% working model would seem to me 
the makes of a scandal.  I wonder what the people at Insignia are 
thinking.  I wonder too what the reaction is from sumex-aim.  I have 
heard of no official reactions or statements. I would expect to see 
something like Rer excuse me that demo you have of softat is not a 
demo and please erase it promptly.S  I have seen no such message and 
am wondering what the XXXX is going on!
 
	What are my legalistic obligations.? What are those of all the 
different sites? What if this made it into private BBSes and even 
pressed onto shareware CD-ROMS.??! This is all quite mysterious and
 would love if someone could explain to me the answers of my 
questions and any other greater implications of the case of the SoftAT
 demo that wasnUt.
 
				Thanks,
