Subject: copyrights of mc:cpm; software

All of the software in this directory is in the public domain.  As far
as I know, only MicroTELNET (MTNxx) is copyrighted (by me) and is not
for sale.  I would prefer that you hold off distributing that version
(1.3) off net until the next version becomes available.

This query brings up a point that I would like to take the opportunity
to reinforce:  software submitted for inclusion in the CPM directory
MUST be in the public domain.

How to submit a file: I normally receive each file as a message from
which I trim off the mailer header and trailer, and copy to the CPM
directory.  I then download the file and either assemble or LOAD it to
verify that it is a good copy, and then announce its existence to this
list.  There is nothing to stop you from submitting a file directly
and making your own announcement, provided that you also download the
copy and make the same verification.
