[sebhc] 444-66

[Jack Rubin]

Peter,

Whatever is easiest for you works for me - the goal really is to keep
the information in circulation. I've set up the SEBHC archives for
limited distribution to minimize the chance of "publishing" something
that really isn't public domain. Obviously how you handle your own
material is up to you - and giving it maximum exposure is great. Maybe
you can get some of your students to take a look at the 8-bit world.

Best,
Jack
