Their stance at that time was that THEY did not consider it legal for you to have a copy of a program from their magazine unless you also owned the magazine. So if you get a copy from someone else (saving you all the typing), you should have bought the issue of Compute! that it was printed in. BTW, if you subscribe to DELPHI, you can find the programs from the current issue of Analog Computing on there according to what they say in the magazine. I do not subscribe to DELPHI and have not checked it out for myself. Analog only keeps the programs from the current issue on the board. They state right under the heading PERMISSIONS in the front of every issue that BBS's and club libraries can do the same thing for all programs that are not specifically identified as 'not public domain'. This seems to be the most reasonable policy I have seen recently. Hope this helps... Kit Kimes AT&T--Information Systems Labs 1100 E. Warrenville Rd. Naperville, IL 60566 ...ihnp4!iwvae!kimes
