Well, 2 things..
One, ya dont have to worry aobut the legality of it anymore since I am
out..Three were about 15 copies I estimated, and thats what I sent out to
people.  So..Im out
Second.  One of  the people i sent the file to was saying he heard
directly from Microsoft that if you legally own a current version of a
program, that you can run older versions of it for free.  Since QBasic
came on DOS 6.22, that means that as long as you are running 6.22 or
higher you can have this prgram anyhow.
At anyrate, approximately 15 more ppl have that program now..Im sure one
of them wont have any qualms aobut sending it to you.
