Seeing your association with AMICUS PD stuff and your
{past|present|future|} association with Amazing Computing, maybe you can
answer a question for me concerning a type-in program in the latest issue
of AC, e.g. the BASIC DIRECTORY SERVICE PROGRAM. What is the status of
this program with respect to my typing this in and then uploading it to CIS
or a local board, or giving a copy to a friend? The REM statements at the
beginning of the program indicate the copyright resides with the author and
in these same statements he designates the program as "freeware." So in
your opinion is this program "FREELY DISTRIBUTABLE" under the common
meaning of the term? Thanks.
I'm not associated with Amazing Computing to any extent any longer, so this
isn't straight from the horse's mouth, so to speak. As far as I know, it's
OK for you to type in this program, or easier still, wait for it to come out
on an Amazing Computing disk. The publisher of the magazine regards all the
programs printed in the magazine as "freely distributable." So upload away.
