Copyright issues with Google searches

[Stgoldberg at aol.com]

If anyone would like have a look at the program I wrote in Revolution, called 
MedSearcher, let me know and I'll have a copy emailed to you for your opinion 
as to any copyright issues.   I've had not difficulty using it without 
registering an ID. As far as I can tell, anyone who uses the program to do an 
Internet search should have no difficulty using it from their computer without any 
kind of ID registration.   The program actually provides Revolution's search 
ability to automatically search some 30 different medical search engines, 
including general search engines such as Google, MSN, and Yahoo.   Just let me know 
your email and whether you would like to see the program in Mac or Windows 
format and I'll send it.   Please do not share it with others, as the copyright 
issue for this search mechanism is still being determined, so it is only for 
evaluation by this forum.   Thanks.
