Ya, I did borrow some code, mostly because my 64-bit code didn't play nice in
the beginning. But I think I have rewritten all the code that I borrowed from
you.

But I still mentioned you in the Thanks-to [1] section.

Be careful with that. A rewrite may still be considered a translation, and the original author retains copyright of your rewrite and thus your code may have to obey the original license. A translation does not have to be literal for the copyright-ownership to carry over.

Nice!

You are doing a great job with the D Blog, Mike! As a writer and as editor. :)

I didn't know that, thanks.
But I don't think this case would fall under a translation,
but I'm no lawyer so I can't be 100% sure.
