I was curious and looked them up on his site:

Notice the slight modfications?

*Engage lurking field.*

Far too close to be a coincidence. Even an infinite number of monkeys at an infinite number of computers couldn't do that.

RW I found irksome, but nobody should be allowed to swipe his ships.

Find the source. Identify. Classify and clarify.
10 Set X$ = $RW
20 Get Y$
30 If Y$ = X$ then goto 60
40 Else Goto 50
50 Run Program = die scurvy dog
60 End

int main(void) {
  string x="RW";
  string y=PosterName();
  if {y==x) {
  }
  else {
    DieScurvyDog();
  }
  return(0);
}

First: looks like Assembly or something suchlike.
Frank: either C or Fortran?

OKay, what we have here is a permitted re-doing of an artist's design, with very little modification done and credit justly given...

But was credit given by whoever has those pictures now, and was offering them for use?

Some people just might be a bit annoyed at that. F'rinstance, if I had permission to use the Sentinel, but gave a modified version to someone else to use, I'd think that was bad, and I'd think the designer would think so too.

Not saying that's what's happened. It's also possible somebody ripped the modified versions off and is presenting them as his own work, OR...

This could all be being done on the up-and-up, and RW knows.

Place yer bets...

I was subjected to six sessions of Fortran77 in second year, which I despise to this day. I honestly prefered writing in machine code.

And this year, they're upping the ante to Visual Basic. Yipee! Roll on the swivel chairs!

*Looks @ Bernd's links for the first time*
OH COME ON! They're RW's, no question -- the modifications are so measly it's laughable -- oh oh look they're rotated 90 degrees => they're mine.

I dearly hope RW is fully aware of this. I've a felling he is, despite my rant. How about telling us, RW? Eh? Eh? Ah go on. You will.
