It's beginning to look that way.

NuLib is a copyrighted, Freeware product.  The compression code is
copyrighted by Kent, the rest by me.  The copyright appears on both
the product help screens and in EVERY source file.

I wouldn't object to somebody using it if somebody would ask me about it
first.  This is the first I've heard of it...

...in which case I would have no right to complain.  But for the moment,
it looks like I do.

Does "Joshua" have an internet address (or a full name)?  Don't send any
money around until I figure out what's going on...

(I don't have the best memory, but I don't remember talking to anybody
 named Joshua about using NuLib code...  wait and see).
