	Hello, \

		I have a warrior that i call BUGGER because basically 
	its a BUGGERised version of about 3 or 4 other warriors that
	I have seen the code for.
		I was just wondering what the rules concerning copyright
	(if any) there is about my warrior. It just basically takes the best 
	(and most usefull) bits of the 4 programs, and combines them into
	one.
		I was most surprised when it managed to kill off XTC five
	times out of ten on KothPC (I think thats the correct program I
	was running)

	Also, I was wondering if there are any books that I could read
	to learn more about the programming side of things. Being a 
	Psychology student, we dont have much to do with programming, and
	to be honest most of the code used in the warrior goes right over
	the top of my head.

			Thanks,
				Mathew.
