 Information for spooners
 ------------------------

This is the doc file for those of you who are looking to "spoon" PG+ code
into your talkers, that is, hack out large chunks of the code and use in
within your own talker. Whilst I'd rather you used the base code it would
be stupid of me to expect that no-one will spoon heavily from this.

Before you start, work out how much of the code you are going to spoon. If
it is to be a large amount then maybe it would be worth considering using
this as a base and copying your code into PG+.

Another valid point is that some code (such as get_int_safe and others)
requests that you mail the author for permission before adding to your
own. Just because the code is in this base package doesn't mean its freely
copyable.

If you do decide to spoon then you shouldn't have any problems porting
stuff to PG96 talkers (and maybe even SensiSummink talkers). I, and the
other authors, cannot and will not guarantee that ported code will work
*at all*. Don't forget the a lot of the code will require global variables
or macros that are in other files.

IF YOU DO PORT CODE, please make sure that you give credit to the authors 
and mention that it was from PG+. You'll also need to put a line in your
help credits to mention this code (ideally with credit to the PG+ base
code and its download URL, which is http://pgplus.ewtoo.org).

Unless it is stated any additional code was written by Richard Lawrence
(aka Silver).

If you have any problems porting code please do not contact me. I will
only help people who are using the PG+ base code.
