Robert,

I'm sorry you found the UUCP port not to your liking.  I believe I did mention
a couple times that this was the OS9/6809 port.

As for the lack of source code....I thought about this a lot and decided that
the need to keep some control over the source and the port outweighed the
desire to upload them.  I think this is resonable given the year I spent doing
the port and the time and money spent testing, talking to beta testers, etc. As
I mentioned in the docs, anyone wanting the source code just needs to drop me a
line and include $5 for the cost of the disk and postage.  If that still
doesn't seem resonable to you, then I can send it to you with no charge if you
will send me a letter with your address.

I also question your mentioning viruses.  Since I nor anyone I know has seen or
heard of an OS9 virus, I think it kinda unresonable for you to suggest that I
might put one in the upload.  If I were that smart, I'd have figured out a way
to do it in less than a 250K file (grin).

In any case, I do not expect this port to pass the detailed scrutiney (sp?) of
a UseNet guru or any other experienced net hacker.  It is as simple an
implementation as I thought possible while still giving as much functionality
as possible.  It does work and hopefully will bring OS9 users that much closer
to the real world.

If you have any more questions, please feel free to call me since I am no
longer available on CIS (at least for the next few months).

Mark
