Aia. Sh*t. I based my conclusions on a ChangLog that stated:

| Tue Mar  5 09:58:21 1996  Joachim Laubsch  <la...@hp...>
| 
|         * Release 3.4.7
|         * COPYRIGHT: added GNU Copyleft
|         * COMPILE-ZEBU.lisp corrections for Allegro

So we have to ask Wells to free his code too, or redo it?

Not good...

Groetjes, Peter
