I was thinking of two things when I posted the silly message.  First, I wonder
if there was ANYTHING of value in the Spraklens' code/algorithms/design that
might be revived and brought into the current era.  But also, second, whether
the Sargon name could be revived for a different program (I think it DOES have
marketing value) and, if so, whether the reviver would have to pay royalties to
the Spraklens.
