The distribution of the result publicly is not necessarily OK (unless they check that the receiver also is the owner of an Amiga Extras disk), as it clearly is a derived work of the AmigaBasic .fd files as found on every Extras disk. The distribution of a program that creates an amiga.lib from the same files is perfectly legit, though. Of couse, I'm no lawyer. > -- Ethan -- Leonard
