This is why I said that I'am not sure for (1).>>

We are attempting to make sure that the correct version gets placed on the
IC host. This is Microsoft copyrighted material, so we cannot copy it or
distribute it, but it would indeed be nice if the right version was in
the correct location. I am aware that this version does get copied from
the IC host -- we do not have any understanding that there is permission
from microsoft for such copying -- still if it does happen, it would be
nice if the right vesion were copied.

There seem to have been two big gaps in this project

1. The whole idea was to produce a version that was freely distributable.
This could have been done, but was not, with the result that Microsoft
owns the result.

2. There was no provision for continued maintenance.
