	This reminds me a question long in my mind. I've discovered
that the Oscar.hqx in the apple.com contains the infamous "Desktop
Manager" (version 2.0.1, the newest I've seen) which, as many of you
know, is not available for FTP before for some legal reason. Does this
situation has been changed recently in Apple? Will we see more goodies
which are available only in CompuServe or GEnie in the apple.com very soon?

	If the DM is inadvertently put there, PLEASE keep it there.
Don't leak this info to the Apple lawyers.
