See the San Jose Mercury News (www.sjmercury.com) for good coverage. By the way, we shouldn't stand up and applaud just yet. It turns out that the Commerce Department still wants to approve each product individually, even though a Federal judge (Patel) has ruled that this is a prior restraint on free speech and thus violates the First Amendment. What's more, they want to know who all of your customers are; they require you to give them information about EVERY exported copy. So much for anonymous FTP downloads across the Net. --Brett At 10:36 PM 9/16/99 -0400, Crist J.
