Here are some links to John Cowans who aren't me:

• The John Cowan at the University of Oklahoma, who looks nothing like me, and is a professor of physics (I was a physics major for a while);
• The John Cowan who co-founded Lead or Leave;
• The vocalist who used to sing lead for New Grass Revival;
• The owner of Halton Gill Bunk Barn, a country inn in Yorkshire, England;
• The judge in British Columbia, Canada;
• The getaway car driver in a locally famous bank robbery in Eureka Springs, Arkansas;
• The author of The Science Of New Life, who believed in celibacy among the married (no comment!);
• The former pastor of the Calvary Chapel in Sacramento, California, who has now moved on to the one in Salt Lake City instead;
• His father, a wildlife photographer, the retired manager of a wildlife preserve, and an author;
• His son, a musician;
• The major from the War of 1812 (no kidding);
• The John Cowan who performs country blues and jug band music as Waxwing John;
• The author of Small Decencies and The Common Table;
• The president of the Texas Association of Dairymen;
• The editor of Speechwriter's Newsletter;
• John Cowen with an "e", who doesn't quite fit in this list, but said he would be chuffed if I included him anyway;
• The photographer;
• Finally, my cousin John Cowan, known within the family as Jack.

ZIP

The Info-ZIP folks seem to think that I co-authored unzip 2.0a, but if so, I've totally forgotten what I added to it. I do remember messing with the source code at one time, and may have stuck in a few lines here and there, which are probably totally gone by now!
