Well, who doesn't have legal MS-DOS, if they ever had a machine back when. It was included on about everything. I probably have recycled a dozen legally MS-DOS licensed machines. I know I've thrown away a lot of the old floppies with DOS. And on a diminishing level with later versions of operating systems ever since. I've even recycled a legal Win 2000 and a Win XP licensed machine into oblivion, for which I personally bought the licenses. Cost of doing business. If someone wanted to create a ruckus, they could point out that every time someone allowed a commercial program for testing and debugging be sent to anyone else, they technically violated copyright. And that's been accepted practice for years, to the point that professional trouble-shooter is, or was, a career. It's rumored that even the big software houses would use them on occasion. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Using Tomcat but need to do more?
