Hi,

The dist10-code is part of the ISO 13818 standard.

So everyone can go to a good library and copy the standard.
(Here in Germany you need papers from a university or you
have to pay money ... but basically you can get this code
without any problems - and without hacking.)

If you look into the original dist10-Readme you'll find :

| ISO MPEG Audio Subgroup Software Simulation Group (1996)
| ISO 13818-3.2 MPEG-2 Audio Codec
| 
| $Id: readme.1st 1.10 1997/01/28 12:00:48 de Bont Exp $
| 
| $Log: readme.1st $
| Revision 1.10  1997/01/19 23:00:48  de Bont
| Distribution 10. Bug fixes and compliance to 13818-3.2

The standard was published in 1995. The first version of
The dist-Code was programmed 1995/06/16. I can't say when
and which version of the dist-Code was released with the 
standard, but I'll have a look when I'm going to the 
library next time.

Sincerly
