The instant you supply a one-line example it becomes tainted: they can't copy it or adapt it; they must develop independently or purchase a different technique. Socratic method?
This raises a related question about members in SYS1.SAMPLIB. Generally they bear IBM copyright notices. If I wish to adapt one for my purposes, that constitutes a derivative work. Must I seek IBM's written permission then to use it? If the facts are otherwise, why doesn't IBM state that in an amendment to the copyright notice? -- gil ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
