The source is still there, but the mode has been changed to restrict
access.  My error, I only did an 'ls' before when checking; this I didn't
expect.  The reason for this is buried in the legal conditions of an
arrangement between NU and LANport to develop PCRoute into a comercial
product. 

It would be nice if someone official from NU would post something to let
people know the whole story, but that may not happen for some time.  Sorry,
I guess people are going to have to find PCRoute2.2 elsewhere.  Due to
circumstances not under my control I don't think NU is going to continue to
distribute it.
