Instead of reading the out of date: http://www.bitkeeper.com/bk06.html I suggest you read: http://www.bitkeeper.com/bk12.html http://www.bitkeeper.com/free.html http://lwn.net/1999/features/BitKeeper.phtml ...and of course, going back to: http://www.bitkeeper.com/bk06.html and reading the last sentence of paragraph 1: Mail sales@bitmover.com if you want to take part in the Beta program. -- Terry Lambert -- Whistle Communications, Inc. -- terry@whistle.com ------------------------------------------------------------------- This is formal notice under California Assembly Bill 1629, enacted 9/26/98 that any UCE sent to my email address will be billed $50 per incident to the legally allowed maximum of $25,000.
