It seems that an awful lot of people >are unaware of Extras1.3:Fonts/. Maybe you misunderstood me, Gregory... The situation is: I want to release a program, which should be bootable, ie. I don't want my program to be started from WorkBench. So I have to copy some libraries, fonts and command files from the WorkBench/Extra disks to the disk containing my own program. My question is: Is it legal to copy the Workbench/Extras files to my own disk, and then release this disk for commercial use, or do I need some kind of license from Commodore? Maybe someone at Commodore could clear this up... -- // Lars Bodin // Department of Mathematics & Computer Science, \\// University of Aalborg (AUC) \/ E-mail: labben@iesd.auc.dk
