It is specifically off the Sony servers because I had to program under
DOS for 3 weeks until my account password arrived.  Since the GNU
compilers cannot be restricted in distribution, someone could have made
them available and I would have increased productivity.  I contacted the
unix siocons author about the licensing of his program and he said I
could redistribute it (I'm assuming he would know about any license
problems with Sony).  The tim gimp plugin is available outside the
yaroze servers.  The other tim tools are written by me.  (When I
questioned Sony about distribution I was given "no comment" so until
otherwise I will make them available.  Also with the tim format being so
simple and the gimp plugin being available it makes no sense to restrict
distribution.)

Any idea where in the US I could get an ARS that works with your linux
server?  And what do I need?  I've heard the ARS is called the Game
Shark in the US.
