The actual problem I have with source requests in general is that they are not usually source requests, more like demands. Source is a funny thing. I usually distribute mine, but others don't. I just wanted to reiterate to those who forget that copyrights are not public domains. No real big deal. I probably didn't need to reiterate anyway. I must've been in a bad mood or something stupid. |----------------------------------------------------------------------------| |Tom Hite | The views expressed by me | |Manager, Product development | are mine, not necessarily | |CADSI (Computer Aided Design Software Inc. | the views of CADSI. | |----------------------------------------------------------------------------|
