This mirror of newton mad is permanently down.  Apparently, it
contained several commercial packages!  This truly sucks.

When I agreed to host this archive, I didn't realize that it
contained pirated software.  I'm afraid as I don't have the
patience to weed through what is shareware/freeware and what
is pirateware, I will simply remove the archive and be done
with it.

If I had assurance that it was only one or two packages, I'd
just remove those, but today's emails indicate there's lots
more stuff, so down it goes for good.

Should someone take the time to purge all commercial packages
that weren't released for public use by their developers, I will
consider mirroring that.  As I've removed all copies of newtonmad,
I would have to mirror a cleaned up version from someone else.

But again, only once the commercial packages are purged!

Here are the messages I've received today regarding this
archive:

Ray,

Please remove NSBasic from your site. This is a fully supported 
commercial product - we're still very much in the business of supporting 
the Newton community.

Thank you,
