Probably because they ran the file through your file-checker!

The early Genie was essential to my early hypercarding - the XCMDs so 
generously provided by the great Rinaldi and others literally saved 
my projects from being a disaster - serial port control, ask folder 
dialogs, etc.

then Genie morphed into AOL.

Most people don't remember but AOL used to be Mac-only. When they 
added PCs and became a big deal, that's when the hand-holding and 
censorship got to be intolerable for professionals.
