            Toaster Flyer Open Source Notes: POLITE CODE

   One of NewTek's requirements in releasing the complete source code
for the Toaster and Flyer was that any rude or potentially offensive
language in the original text based material be politely modified or
removed. Doing this task was my primary contribution to the TFOS
project, and being thorough in the job involved minor alterations to a
significant number of the original files. Most often the changes only
meant re-wording of Comment lines or revision notes, but in a few
instances it was necessary to alter the actual source code with
replacement variable names and such.

   Great care was taken to ensure that none of these requisite changes
introduced any bugs or code errors, and test compiles were run on most
of the modified code prior to release. However, for easy tracking should
any of the updates become suspect as a source of problems, all of the
modified files in the final TFOS distribution have been marked with
the words "Polite Code" in the File Comment field. We ask that you
please post notice of any confirmed errors in the distributed code to
the TFOS mailing list:
