Dear Dr Kirkby, I am merely an user of Scid, and would like to ignore this daily mudslinging, if it had not turned into such a daily deluge. I am trying to take an impartial view. I know neither you or Pascal, and I do not follow the details of your history - I give my personal work more importance than that and I hope others on this forum do so to - but my reaction should give you some indication of how you are beginning to appear to others.
I am sure your "unintensional" (sic) typos were reproduced by Pascal, who is not a native speaker of English. If that is the kind of stuff that he swiped from you, then Pascal please acknowledge David for all the spelling errors he has introduced. If you have no other lines of code that Pascal swiped from you, then kindly drop this matter, else Pascal should acknowledge you too. This forum is for Scid-users, and not for juvenile bickering over copyrights over typos.
