The archivists of Mac FTP sites are *really* good about sending out
these messages. Someone accidently upload BeHierarchic 2.0, which is
commercial. Once this was determined, they posted warning about it in
the info-mac digest telling everyone that they should delete it.
Honest people will take that advice and delete it.

This "demo that's really the real thing" was unconvered when someone
called Insignia to ask about it and gave them the serial number.
Apparently, Insignia itself is going to investigate this.
