Yeah, but the original release still runs in a DOS window
under WinNT. :-)

Yes, Cabot Software in the UK appears to be the last remaining
licensee of UCSD's technology. As of a few years ago, they had
the only - but a non-exclusive - license from UCSD. I talked
to UCSD, they didn't want to grant any permission for me to
redistribute anything (even old versions). They didn't want
to upset their slim revenue stream from Cabot.
I still hold the daydream that any of the other official
licensees from the past will find a way to transfer their
license to me, and then I'd be able to place more code
on my web site.
