Such lies....
The manual @ helpdesk.kixtart.org was indeed ripped from the CHM manual produced by ScriptLogic. It is blatently obvious since the ScriptLogic version came out first and the pages @ the helpdesk are EXACT copies, all the way down to the colors, formatting, bolding of new items, and the 'see also' hyperlinks.
By the way... the 'see also' hyperlinks are the proof -- Brian states he copied from the MS Word manual using UltraEdit -- in fact, he couldn't have, since Ruud's manual doesn't have 'see also' links. If anyone cares to look closely, you'll notice a number of other small difference between the HTML pages and the Word manual -- differences that were intentional.
You can even see that the directory structure was copied 100% intact (with subfolders for \commands, \functions, and \reference)
Brian, I don't mind that you copied it -- I just really don't like the fact that you are not giving credit to the author. And even more irritating is that you are giving permission to others to re-publish the work that you copied.
Since I don't want this to turn into a pissing contest of who ripped who's work, I challenge you to ask Ruud. ScriptLogic Corp. regularly sends Ruud the source to HTML page (zipped of course)for his own archival purposes.
So please everyone, Brian Peterson did a great job -- a great job of republishing someone else's hard work. If anyone wants permission to link or repost the HTML pages created by SL, you should aks that permission of the author -- ScriptLogic Corp.
