That zip includes file probe.txt *inviting* to use tbindex.cpp (assumed no restrictions), and it's written by you, author of probing code. It does not say through entire tbgen.zip that usage of tbindex.cpp is restricted by craftys copyright notice (or that usage requires written agreement by author or else). Please clarify your intentions in probe.txt if you find a minute or two. -Andrew-
