+Welcome to SNIPPETS!
+
+ All the code I put into SNIPPETS for distribution is Public Domain or free
+to the best that I can determine. What this means is that:
+
+1. I know or can contact the original author(s) to verify the presumed
+ copyright ownership, and
+
+2. The work bears an explicit Public Domain notice, or
+
+3. The work is copyrighted but includes a free use license, or
+
+4. The work was published without a copyright notice prior to the effective
+ date of the new copyright law.
+
+ This has been occasionally annoying when I've had to pass up some useful
+piece of code because it's questionable whether anyone can use it without
+incurring liability (distributing someone else's property makes me an
+accessory, doncha know).
+
+ Since SNIPPETS includes both public domain and free code, be sure to
+carefully read each header for any free license restrictions which may
+apply.
+
+Distribution:
+
+ Starting with the December 1992 version, SNIPPETS is distributed in two
+files:
+
+SNIPmmyy.LZH is the full SNIPPETS collection.
+SNPDmmyy.LZH contains only the files changes since the last release.
+
+ SNIPPETS is distributed through the FidoNet Programmer's Distribution
+Network (PDN - see the file PDN.LST for a list of PDN sites and further
+information. The SNIPPETS files are also available from my "home" BBS, Comm
+Port One, (713) 980-9671, FidoNet address 1:106/2000 using the "magic" F'req
+names of "SNIPPETS" and "SNIPDIFF". Various Internet mirror sites also carry
+SNIPPETS, but I'm not sure which ones have it an any given time. One place to
+try is oak.oakland.edu in /pub/msdos/c.
