It should help the sales of the new nostarch press
book on bcast. I have a copy of the last released
source, I've got a download spot for those who want a
copy, just email me back. Personally I'm going to
study the code and use it to teach myself c/c++, as
its very optimized and stable. Then I want to use that
info to work on the ogg/vorbis project, as they wisely
chose to create a non-profit organization to shield
themselves from personal liability. I feel bad for
bcast's author as he's a great coder and doesn't
deserve to be gone after by the system,.
