- You must be thinking of Allen Braunsdorf (maintainer of the

- I agreed to make the contents of NeXT's diskette available.

- This in no way constitutes an endorsement of Squash. Neither I,
- San Francisco State University, the Trustees of the California
- State University, nor the State of California make any claims as
- to the suitability or usefulness of this data for any purpose.
- No warranty is expressed or implied. Use at your own risk, etc.
