   This is so, Qmodem 5.xxx is a commercial copy and not to be copied
or uploaded anywhere by anyone.
   The only "share ware version" has a TD attached to it, TD=Test Drive
and the only ones I have seen floating about are 4.52 and 4.60 but I am
sure there are older ones.
   PS the Sysops know what programs can and those that should not be
uploaded as it is their butts that could be in the wringer so to speak
so keep on their good side and if in doubt ask then abide by the answer.
   Have a good one
