Would the codes be something worthwhile to add to the information tabs on the first page?

[Rick Losey]

i expect we get would back into the copyright issue

[John Dallas]

Among the many things I'm not, copyright lawyer is right up there, but, that being said, what is the difference between someone posting the code in response to a question, and posting it as a reference point in our literature?

[Rick Losey]

Neither am I - but the readers digest version as i understand it is that you can quote small portions of a work -especially for "educational" purposes - copying a whole section is an issue

besides - its a fun book to have around- I use mine regularly - I answered a question here yesterday and one for a traveling friend today. I have also used it multiple times to check out an auction gun I may have interest in. I learn a bit many times, I just wish I could get an e-book version (it would likely be the only e-book I would ever buy)

[Dean Romig]

Actually, PT is Plain Twist.

I'll second it, the book is great, its just not a bunch of numbers and codes there are other things in it as well and if you're not too familiar with Parkers it comes in quite handy!
