Strikes me that some of the stuff regarding SOURCES on here has already broken
the equivalent source-code rules (EQUIVALENT, not EXISTING; damned if I know
what AT&T's got in its head (?) (:-) re: legalities, I'm just trying to draw a
parallel).

Okay, we provide 'diff' listings for sources.  How about a (non-AT&T) patch
program, and a protocol for it which can be posted on the net a` la uuencode?
You'd probably have to repost uuencode/uudecode to use it, as we, at least, do
not have it (our news link does not like to pass along sources, the hack occurs
'long about at cwruecmp (listening, Case? :-)).  If LDOS can do it, SURELY a
Unix system can!
