In the disk that I provide, accompanying the Programmers' Guide, I have
given explicit permission to use the code or portions of the code in
user programs -- just a caveat that "it is yours now, you are responsible
to see that it suits your own application... and so on."  I had gotten
permission from SYBEX to do this.  So as far as I would guess, anyone
who types the stuff in from the book should also be covered by that
same permission.  My disclaimer was simply to avoid problems if the
code were to be incorporated into commercial applications.  It was a
"this does something for me, maybe it will help you too" kind of notice,
but with no guarantees.  You know what I mean.

Anyway, feel free to post code that includes any of my stuff.  My only
request is that somewhere in a comment, you say that part came from 
(or maybe even 'inspired by') the Programmers' Guide To The Amiga,
Sybex, 1987, by Rob Peck.  That way, a programmer new to the Amiga,
who may not even know the book EXISTS, might be goaded into looking
for it in the local bookstores or Amiga dealers (some of whom actually
carry it).
