- Her assurance for BIOSYS may be wrong. I am not aware that it is in the
- public domain. It is sold by David Swofford (send $25 to the Center
- for Biodiversity, Illinois Natural History Survey, 607 East Peabody Drive,
- Champaign, Illinois 61820, U.S.A.). Swofford's other offering, PAUP, is
- definitely NOT in the public domain and not freely copyable. I do not know
- for sure for BIOSYS but she might check with the people in Illinois (Swofford
- has moved to the Smithsonian Institution but distribution of his programs
- is from Illinois).
