Actually, you obtained a license from Neuron to use Neuron's software
product "Neuron Dendrite."  This software package is seperate and
distinct from my software package, though it was derived from software
licensed to Neuron by me.  Neuron's software was (supposed) to be
marketed and supported by Neuron.  As we all know by now, this really
didn't happen, nor did they pay their licensing fees to me either
before they did their disappearing act.  Hey, its only $$$ :-(

Differences in packaging caused the keyfile to get zapped.  I'm very
careful in my released to not install any files over file that the
user may have customized, which is why all that stuff is in the
SAMPLES directory.

Also, note that the version of my SLIP software on the Educational
Software Sampled CD-ROM is one version short of the one that supports
the 3.0 release for CSLIP.  If you don't do CSLIP, it will work just
fine.  If you do CSLIP and upgrade to 3.0, you really want
SLIP_920904.tar from one of the archive sites.
