And an email correspondant tells me that he knows someone who was
fined for that "offense" (importing it, not necessarily by FTP).

Weird stuff. Sometimes you get the impression that the government
makes it up as they go along. Make the rules ambiguous (or, better,
all inclusive), then enforce them selectively. Means they can do
whatever they want. (For the benefit of those readers outside the US:
the law here says that police can't stop a motor vehicle without
cause. But the speed limits are set so that they _always_ have
cause. :-)

Returning you to the serious (and much more interesting) technical
discussion, 

Robert
