- I think this is the must importent statement, and I aggree deeply.
-
- I know of lot of people who are only listening to alt.sys.intergraph.
-
- Selling a PD CD will not do it, maybe a free IGUG CD, but I don't
- think this should be the main source for PD software. I could be nice
- for a start, and for newcommers, and people who atend IGUG, (you could
- also distribute it with Intergraph's ordinary SW distribution).
-
- I'll wote for a FTP site.
-
- See you
