Re: another: copyright question
Hmmm, a fourth year student at u.waterloo in 1993 is probably somewhere
else long since then.
I'm not an official mentor (not even an official developer, yet), so
these are just my thoughts...
Maybe you can contact someone currently at u waterloo (the main web page
links to a long list of web pages and email addresses of current
students) ... see if you can prevail upon one of them to check an alumni
book, or give you the email address of someone who can; or maybe he's
left some forwarding information somewhere else there.
Only you can decide whether it's worth that effort to be able to package
this.

... maybe he didn't survive that course.
