I'd like to save myself the - hastle of typing source in, yet I don't wish to pay $25 for the source code - disk. If someone else has typed this stuff in, then can it be distributed - freely? I would think so since after all I do have the book and I could - do it myself. For that matter, couldn't the code off the actual disks be - distributed since there is no way to distinguishably tell if you had - obtained it from the publishers disk copy or from someone who took the pains - to type it in? Anyway if it's available somewhere, I sure would like to get - ahold of a copy. I knew Bruce's email address and also knew he probably didn't read usenet so I forwarded a copy of the above message to him.

Here's the message I'm sending to the - fellow; post it if you feel so inclined: - - The source code is not freely distributable, or in the public domain in any - way. Once you've bought it, you can use it in compiled form in any of your - projects, but you may not distribute the source, which is copyrighted. - Please respect the copyright. - - There is over 1/2 megabyte of code, which includes a number of projects - which do not appear in the book, but which I have created since the book was - written. I think you'll find it worth the price. Your order will be - processed more quickly if you send it to: - - Revolution2 - P.O.
