- Welcome to SNIPPETS!
-
- All the code I put into SNIPPETS for distribution is Public Domain or free
- to the best that I can determine. What this means is that:
-
- 1. I know or can contact the original author(s) to verify the presumed
- copyright ownership, and
-
- 2. The work bears an explicit Public Domain notice, or
-
- 3. The work was published without a copyright notice prior to the effective
- date of the new copyright law.
-
- This has been occasionally annoying when I've had to pass up some useful
- piece of code because it's questionable whether anyone can use it without
- incurring liability (distributing someone else's property makes me an
- accessory, doncha know).
-
- Since SNIPPETS includes both public domain and free code, be sure to
- carefully read each header for any free license restrictions which may
- apply. The only file which currently contains such restrictions is GREP.C
- which is copyrighted but freely licensed from DECUS.
-
- Distribution:
-
- Starting with the April 1992 version, SNIPPETS is distributed in two files:
-
- SNIPmmyy.LZH is the full SNIPPETS collection.
- SNPDmmyy.LZH contains only the files changes since the last release.
-
- SNIPPETS is distributed through the FidoNet Programmer's Distribution
- Network (PDN), or BIX. The SNIPPETS files are also available from my "home"
- BBS, Comm Port One, (713) 980-9761, FidoNet address 1:106/2000 using the
- "magic" F'req names of "SNIPPETS" and "SNIPDIFF".
