Source Code

On this page, you will find a few useful bits of free source code for my programs. Please consider the following limitations when using the source code:
•  You are allowed to include the source code in any product (commercial, shareware, freeware or otherwise) when your product is released in binary form.
•  You are allowed to modify the source code in any way you want, except you cannot modify the copyright details at the top of each module.
•  If you want to distribute source code with your application, then you are only allowed to distribute versions released by the author.

If you find code to be particularly valuable, then consider sending a brief thank you note to the email address in the code comments.
