You're speaking like an ab.ca, rather than a ca.us! There is no reason why the software owner has to be identified, either on the public portion of the list or internally. Such a list could help us identify which software is know to work on which machines. For example: program X works under System 7.x, but requires Colour Quickdraw, so it will not run on a Macintosh SE. And so on. Byron. -- Compact Macs is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/>.
