Hello Juergen,
These comments of yours are out-of-date. The problem has been fixed and the fix
has been announced. I also had the offending program withdrawn. The problem
arose when I had my nose too close to the programming issue of compacting an
overly large file, and did not take into account the importance of retaining the
author information. That was a mistake on my part, but not an attempt to harm
anyone. When two people brought it to my attention, I tried to explain how it
came about, and I then repaired the program so that the issue would not come up
again. That is the way it is supposed to work to correct errors. Try to
understand the difference between deliberate disregard and a mistake.
