- There was discussion about this a few months ago: Mac-In-Dos is a *COMMERCIAL*
- program that was pirated and illegally loaded onto some FTP sites. All the
- common FTP sites removed it as soon as they were made aware of the program's
- status. If you are aware of the program's existence at an FTP site, please
- inform the site's administrator so that the program can be removed. This saves
- FTP sites from the risk of prosecution, etc.
- If you have obtained Mac-In-Dos illegally, please do the right thing and
- purchase a legal copy of what is reported to be an excellent product.
