I tried emailing them a couple of years ago (I didn't realise it had
been that long myself until I just checked now), but didn't hear a
thing in reply. I'll try again, and follow up with a fax, letter or
phone call if I don't get a response.
This code was originally released as 3270tool, on comp.sources.sun,
with the following copyright:
/*

* Copyright 1988, 1989 by Robert Viduya.

Yikes. I couldn't track down an early package when the license
changed to "public use".
Robert Viduya says in the message with the source:
} This is something I wrote a couple of years ago, but due to some problems
} here at Tech, have only just now gotten permission to release.
It looks like I'm taking a couple of years to sort out the copyright
too...
