As quoted from <8400183@m.cs.uiuc.edu> by gillies@m.cs.uiuc.edu:

| When you think of the cost of distributing this tool with every system
| release, I'm really surprised that Apple doesn't maximize the utility
| and customer satisfaction that this tool provides, for ALL its
| customers.  I realize the tool was written by Berkeley System Design,
| but that's a lame excuse for doing nothing.
+---------------

It's not a very lame excuse at all when you consider that the "un-crippled"
version of the tool is a commercial product yclept Stepping Out II.  I don't
think Berkeley Systems Design would allow Apple to continue distributing
CloseView if Apple decided to turn it into their own version of B.S.D.'s
commercial version....
