In mid-1996 I contacted the author and copyright holder of GS
Numerics by telephone to ask him to reclassify GS Numerics from
commercial status to freeware status.  He agreed!

I had the original disk of the program, wanted to archive it with ShrinkIt GS
and upload it to all of the Apple II ftp sites then.  Unfortunately, when I
attempted to make an archive, the disk was corrupt.  After many attempts over
the past two years to obtain this program, I finally have been successful.  So,
I'll be making it available with uploads in the next few days to all of the
Apple II 
ftp sites.  

Anybody that desires to make the official varification concerning this
reclassification of GS Numerics can do so with their own methods and research
efforts with my blessings.

Cheers,
Tom

Hello Julian,
I spoke with you by telephone a few years ago about allowing the GS
Numeric program for the Apple IIgs to be allowed to be made available
as a freeware.  In that conversation you agreed to allow it's
distribution as a freeware.  In preparation to make an archive of the
GS Numeric program disk, as a ShrinkIt GS archive, I discovered my
original and its backup disks had become corrupted with age and could
not be archived.

After a long search, I finally obtained another GS Numeric disk that is
fine.  I need to get an email reply from you now - stating that it's OK
to make the GS Numeric ShrinkIt archive available as a freeware - so
that I can upload it to our few remaining Apple IIgs public ftp sites
for use by the few remaining users for the Apple IIgs.

I called your number above earlier this week and your wife said you'd be
back by today or tomorrow.  Tried calling you today and got no answer. 
So, I'm sending you this email and asking for an email reply to allow
me to do this.

I think it might be a good idea also to include in your email reply
that as a freeware, it is not to be included in any commercially sold
bundle, CD, etc. but, rather is to be made available as a freeware
without cost, via ShrinkIt archive format only.

Thanks and I'll be looking forward to your reply.

Sincerely,
Tom
