Scripsit

[John Esak]

Hi Bill,
No, I'm not ready to revive Scripsit, or send it into GPL or such. Could be
it will happen, but not now. Plus, I did some work on it after sending it
off to you, not much, but I reorganized the software control stuff.
Actually, I think I took it out of that system. At any rate, no, that favor
to you was and is, still that. Please keep the source private and safe, as
always. My copies are so safe, even I would have a hard time finding them in
20 minutes. :-)

John
