<<Good Luck!>>

Thank you Mark!  About 30 minutes ago, i received a telephone call from the
author and copyright holder of ŌThe Einstein CompilerÕ - Dennis Goodrow.  He
agreed to allow the program to be reclassified as freeware for non-commercial
distribution in ShrinkIt disk archive file format on the Internet.

I asked Dennis to send me an email confirming this.  As soon as I receive his
email confirmation - IÕll post it on this newsgroup exactly as I received it in
full with headers and all!

<<Last I heard, the company broke up, the author went to work at a major
corporation (Honeywell I believe) and all of the assets of the company were sold
off.  I believe the author took his copyright with him.>>

I located the author in Berkeley, CA at his place of work. It was not Honeywell.
 After reading your post and information above and before receiving the telphone
call reply  this morning from Dennis Goodrow - I decided to checked the
Honeywell personel dept. and they had no; D. Goodrow or S. Einstein employed by
any division of Honeywel.

<<(I own a copy of the EC.)>>

Mark... I would appreciate it if you would send me a ShrinkIt disk archive of
your EC - for non-commercial distribution and uploading to my web site and our
other Apple II ftp sites.  The author no longer has it to furnish and I only
have a disk image of v5.2.  An actual 5.25"  disk archive in ShrinkIt (SDK) file
format - by anybody that cares to send it to me - as an external email file
attachment -would make it's distribution as a freeware easy for me.

<<At one point there was talk of EC being ported over to ProDOS but I never saw
this actually happen.  :-/  Oh well, what can I say?  Back to work.>>

I asked Dennis Goodrow about that and he related that it was never even started
with a ProDOS port.

Pending my email reply from Dennis Goodrow, confirming the reclassification to
freeware for non-commercial distribution on the Internet, he can be contacted by
telephone at his work.  I am not posting his work tel. number and extension.
But, will furnish it by email request to any doubters that want to confirm our
conversation concerning his allowing the reclassification of the program to
freeware for non-commercial distribution.

Thanks again to all who wished me good luck on this reclassification effort and
in locating, contacting and obtaining consent from the author. It was fun and I
might add rather cosmic with the research methods I used to locate Dennis
Goodrow.

Again, please donÕt pester me for email varification and PROOF.  As soon as I
receive his email - I will post it in full copy on this newsgroup.

Cheers,
Tom
