Oops! You are absolutely correct.

While I'm here, I should mention for the benefit of those who have
written to me requesting the source code, that for various reasons it
is not immediately available, but should be so in a week or
thereabouts: be patient!

Also, it seems that I have quite a few requests for this code, which
makes me inclined to submit the source code to comp.sources.misc.
However, since the code is published in the above-mentioned book, does
that make the _source_code_ copyright? Can I post the source without
infringing the copyright?
