There are others on this list, who probably wish to remain anonymous,
who would be able to answer your question regarding copyrights.  If they
have a reply and wish to retain their anonymity, I'd be happy to
manually edit and forward a reply.

Jonathan, take a look at Page 96 of the WBH.  It should answer your
question very nicely.  To paraphrase, the WBH will be made available by
Digest Group on computers (IBM PC, Macintosh, Apple II, Commodore
64/128), available Jan 1990.  The WB program will be $24.95 for IBM and
Mac, and $29.95 Apple II and Commodore.  They are also sending the UWP
data for "37 sectors in and near the Imperium", called "Second Survey
Data", which will also cost 24.95/29.95.  They aren't taking any pre-orders,
though.

Maybe somone on this list could convince DGP to let them do a UNIX port
of the software and data files?
