Hello Ross

I don't know for sure but a think a tape tree is when someone has a good tape he
makes some copies for a few friends, who then make some copies for their friends
and so on. Possibly greatly illegal of course if the first tape is buyware and
also not very good for quality, but still a good way of fast distribution if you
have enough people with two VCR's or portable ones.

Hope this helps, greetings, Peter

PS. You can easily check your mail posting quality by sending a copy to yourself
as you asked about in an earlier posting.
