CTA vs CPO

Recently there was a discussion about CTA's on this list.  It has always
been my understanding that managed futures funds were managed by CTA's.  I
thought that the CPO (Commodity Pool Operator) was just an old or rarely
used designation still on the books (or something like that).

What is the difference?  Is it that a  CTA can advise AND invest AND write a
newsletter whereas a CPO can only manage money???

Just curious.
