Of course, if it's now being given away, I want my money back Alan On Tue, 22 Jul 2003 12:24:37 +1000 (AEST), Robert Traynor (BobT) wrote: >Hi All, > >Go to:- >http://hobbes.nmsu.edu/ > >Search for "VPC" (no quotes). the TWO files are currently in the >DELAYED directory and MAY be deleted if they are >determined to be commercial software. >ie, >http://hobbes.nmsu.edu/cgi-bin/h-browse?sh=1&dir=/pub/incoming/delayed&sort=da te > >VPC.zip - >Description:.
