But that is not what you have written. As things are now, I wouldn't dare to use your library for anything at all. I consider you much more trustworthy than ACT, but the copyright notice in the files clearly prevents me from distributing your source code (and maybe also compiled versions of it). I know that the Beer-Ware license is twice as long as your text, but please consider it, if you really want people to use your code. Greetings, Jacob -- recursive, adj.; see recursive
