And, I am somehow dishonest huh ?? This is a severe insult, but,
DO YOU HAVE ANY IDEA WHAT YOU ARE TALKING ABOUT ??
The code for the interpreter is available from Springer-Verlag for a
minimal fee, and to my knowledge, it is copyright, but has no distribution
restrictions on it... [I do not have the software, so I cannot tell for
sure whether or not it is distributable.] If it is not distributable,
despite its availability from the publisher, I would not want it casually,
and would order it myself.
For the record, I do not pirate software, I do not use/hack even GNU
software because I do not *agree* with its conditions, nor do I distribute
software that is non-distributable, and believe me, I have distributed a
*lot* over the years.
