As far as I know, it is only available in the Red Ryder Roundtable -- which can
only be accessed by those who have already paid for Red Ryder.  I believe Scott
Watson wrote something in the file description to the effect that if it got out
into the hands of unregistered users that he would pull it from GEnie and would
force registered users to buy the upgrade commercially from FreeSoft.  My guess
is that he still intends to have new RR users buy 10.2 commercially for $80.00.
