<H1>Contacting authors</H1>
|
|
<P>

The JEDI Code Library is built upon donations by various individuals. In the
|
|
documentation for each subroutine or class you will find who the author of that
|
|
particular code is by looking in the "Quick Info" section. The author's e-mail
|
|
is not listed there. It is listed in the contributors page elsewhere in this
|
|
document. Therefore if you really need to contact an author it is possible. However,
|
|
generically speaking, you should <B>never contact an author</B> regarding code included
|
|
in this library. There are various reasons for this with the two most prominent
|
|
being that some authors explicitly requested this and because "author" means
|
|
different things in different context. Usually "author" means that the described
|
|
code was donated to the JCL by that individual and included after reformatting and
|
|
only minor modifications. However, sometimes code was significantly altered,
|
|
rewritten several times or 'merely' based upon or inspired by code from that
|
|
individual. Consequently there exist several routines which in no way resemble
|
|
the original code as it was donated by the "author". Nevertheless, the individual
|
|
that orginally donated the code is still documented as the author.
|
|
<P>
|
|
In general, if you like some routine very much and it has proven to work correctly:
|
|
be grateful to the author (in thought, not by sending him or her an e-mail). On
|
|
the other hand, if some routine turns out to be buggy, incorrect or for whatever
|
|
reason is not to your liking: complain to me. It was most likely we who screwed
|
|
it up and introduced those bugs into code that was working perfectly until we got
|
|
our hands on it! To report bugs, use Project JEDI's
