We report on 1.6 GHz Very-Long-Baseline-Interferometry (VLBI)
observations of supernova SN 1979C made on 18 November 2002. We
derive a model-dependent supernova size. We also present a reanalysis
of VLBI observations made by us on June 1999 and by other authors
on February 2005. We conclude that, contrary to our earlier
claim of strong deceleration in the expansion, SN 1979C has been
undergoing almost-free expansion (
; 
) for over 25 years.
