Okay, so where does Lone-Tar fit into the picture?  I remember being told
at one point that both Lone-Tar and BE had the same core, which was CTAR.
Did they [Cactus] also license it?

You know, '93 doesn't seem all that long ago.  Then I think, "Wait, that's
13 years ago!"  Then I feel bloody ancient.
