Welcome to SNIPPETS!

All the code I put into SNIPPETS for distribution is Public Domain or free to the best that I can determine. What this means is that:

  1. I know or can contact the original author(s) to verify the presumed copyright ownership, and

  2. The work bears an explicit Public Domain notice, or

  3. The work is copyrighted but includes a free use license, or

  4. The work was published without a copyright notice prior to the effective date of the new copyright law.

This has been occasionally annoying when I've had to pass up some useful piece of code because it's questionable whether anyone can use it without incurring liability (distributing someone else's property makes me an accessory, doncha know).

Since SNIPPETS includes both public domain and free code, be sure to carefully read each header for any free license restrictions which may apply.

Distribution:

Starting with the December 1992 version, SNIPPETS is distributed in two files:

SNIPmmyy.LZH is the full SNIPPETS collection. SNPDmmyy.LZH contains only the files changes since the last release.

SNIPPETS is distributed through the FidoNet Programmer's Distribution Network (PDN - see the file PDN.LST for a list of PDN sites and further information. The SNIPPETS files are also available from my "home" BBS, Comm Port One, (713) 980-9671, FidoNet address 1:106/2000 using the "magic" F'req names of "SNIPPETS" and "SNIPDIFF". Various Internet mirror sites also carry SNIPPETS, but I'm not sure which ones have it an any given time. One place to try is oak.oakland.edu in /pub/msdos/c.
