The reason why you have not seen SET FILE on net.micro.mac, net.sources.mac,
or [sumex-aim]<info-mac> is that SET FILE is not a public-domain program. It
is part of the Software Supplement to Inside Macintosh, which costs $100 and
can be ordered from some distribution company (sorry, I don't remember their
address). The Software Supplement consists of a number of Lisa disks, a few
Mac disks, updates to these disks, and (if you also bought a copy of "Inside
Mac") updates to Inside Mac & a copy of the final Inside Mac when it comes out.
Apple has given permission for SOME of the Supplement programs to be uploaded
to Compuserve, user group libraries, etc. However, you shouldn't assume that
a random Supplement program (such as the new Imagewriter driver) is shareable
unless Apple says so. To find out which programs are shareable, log onto the
Compuserve network, GO PCS-51, go to DL #5, and BROwse through the directory
looking for files that have been uploaded by the sysops and have descriptions
saying they were uploaded with Apple's permission.
