Well, I wrote some software in 1977, and it's still going strong. It's weird
to have a program old enough to drink. But some of my customers asked that
same question 25 years ago. The source code to Spedit is still in the safe
at my lawyers, in case a Bus gets me on my bicycle, or I crash my kite into
the mountain.
Not a bad idea to escrow the source.

but: what would happen if something bad happend to Elecraft
(in clear-text, if Elecraft went out of business)? Let's hope that this will
not happen for a long time to come, but what if?

btw, I've also written some code that is NOT old enough to drink!
