Sorry Paul but I looked at your code and George's example14 code and there are very many similarities -- too many for coincidence. The damning evidence to me is LINE 220 of your main.c : }// end InitMAP Your function is actually called InitMap. Note the case? Guess what George called his initmap func -- yep InitMAP. Also George has an //end FUNCTION comment at the end of ALL of his functions but you chose to do it only for IntCells and InitMap, why? (with a typo on InitMap?) Coincidence? Mmmm. I'd like to believe you Paul but I have to sympathise with George on this as even though it is a small and trivial demo all you had to do was put 'based on code by George Bain' at the top to avoid this sorry afair. I hope no-one rips off my code as I release all my source, and would be very pissed off if it got looted. Own up and apologise Paul or we need to hear more from the Defense..
