you download here. I do not mind if you use or modify my code, but please if you do add my code
snippets to your webpages or other ftp sites, keep the credits in tact.

I think the Original Diku staff, Merc staff, and Russ and Rom staff need to be credited as this
code is for source code based on what they created, so I ask you keep their credits in my snippet

comments in your files. They are there just to help give you an idea what the bugfix was for...
Most of the bugfixes are well-known and I am sorry if I forgot whose fixes they were, so if
you require credit, let me know and I will add it in asap.
