San Diego, Computer Center Lines: 10 [] I don't want to rain on this guy's parade, but there are copyright laws which prohibit this practice. Analog recently had a survey of its reader on the subject of piracy, and they said that you must buy the magazine if you are going to get a copy of any program in it from a friend. I know the rules are somewhat blurred on this point, but I don't think it's worth a possible law-suit.
