Re: Installing Xy under 32-bit Win; Manual; ANSI

[Judith Davidsen jdavidsen@xxxxxxxx]

Okay, I am a writer. You are not allowed to put my work
online either for sale or for free without my permission. I
own the copyright and it is up to me to decide how my work
is used--you can't even quote more than a snippet in a
review without my permission. As far as I know, this is
still the law.

As righteously angry as we may be over the Technology
Group's abandoning us--and as much as I would love to see
the manuals online, especially if they were searchable--as
long as TTG owns the copyright to the manuals, even if they
never intend to do anything with those manuals ever again
for the life of the copyright, we still have to negotiate
anything we want to do with them.

If I'm wrong about this then I guess that editor really did
have the right publish my work under his daughter's byline.
