What is the current legal status of the "Alice" program on Boston Computer
Society disk #2?  When this program first appeared, the consensus seemed to
be that it was a graphics demo and not a commercial product.  Recently, I
have heard rumors that Alice has been expanded and turned into a commercial
program called "Through the Looking Glass".  However, I have never seen this
program in any computer store, so I don't know whether or not it exists.

In particular, is it appropriate to treat "Alice" like the Resource Editor
(which can be passed around, put into libraries, etc.) or like MacTerminal
(which can't be passed around, etc.)?
