<p> The original license of htp by Jim Nelson is not very clear: It
61
first says that it is public domain and then gives some
62
restrictions and it is unclear if we are allowed to give away modified
63
versions. We tried to contact Jim Nelson, but without success.

htp is a public domain utility. There is absolutely no charge for it's

use. No charge can be incurred for the redistribution of this utility
71
beyond material costs. All distributions of htp must include all files
72
contained in the archive it was originally packaged in. Any questions
73
regarding distribution should be directed to Jim Nelson at

<A HREF="mailto:jnelson@crl.com">jnelson@crl.com</A>. A full distribution
75
package can be obtained at the htp home page, listed above.

This on-line reference is considered documention for htp, and is therefore
79
subject to the same conditions of distribution as the actual utility.

appreciate placing a hyperlink on one of your pages pointing to the htp
