A resounding 'here here' from me! What was the point of the Clib posting if it's not PD? It can only help Acorn and all Archie owners if such essential software is made available to all with no strings attached. I for one can't fathom how a piece of software posted to comp.binaries.acorn can be down-loaded by all, but can be distributed no further... Typical bl**dy Acorn if you ask me!

It is rather wierd the way Acorn have posted that 3.66 Clib. The only reason I can see with it not being PD is so that they can ensure that it doesnt change and modified versions don't go round. As far as I see it the only strings attached to any Acorn module should be that it is not changed. Surely its in Acorns interest to ensure that everyone is using the latest version of Modules rather than messing about with everyone having different versions of CLib.

And so that people don't start selling it for profit! mathew [ PD or not PD? That is the question... Ah, well. You can't make a Hamlet without breaking eggs. ]
