Papyrus to the list. I too had heard a similar rumor about Papyrus
and therefore, was not surprised to see your note asking for any
info on Papyrus' status. I am glad the thing was cleared up and hope that
Research Software Design will not hold you responsible for spreading malicious
rumors. It was clear to me that your posting was entirely innocent and
legitimate.
P.S. Mr. Goldman: I do not have any information for you on the source
of the rumor. It came from a former customer of Papyrus who seemed
to be having trouble getting tech support or info on updates. That's
about all I recall.
