Just a thought. Khanna publishers is just a reprinter for many original
publishers like O'Reilly etc. In those case, I doubt if Khanna publisher
would have the right to give you permission.

Are you sure that the book in question is published solely by Khanna
publishers?

Umm... do you want to re-implement the examples in the book so that they
can compile cleanly using FOSS tools ? A question thus remains to be
asked is - what if you do re-implement the examples to make them FOSS
compliant and put them up for others to see and use ? Examples being
based on algorithms - wouldn't they be prior art ? I am not a lawyer and
thus just asking. Might you want to poke the Alternative Law Forum on
this too ?

I didn't know about this site until now. Very useful.

 Works for you?

Thanks! I was able to call their office. The owner is one, Mr. Vinith
Khanna, and I was told to speak to him about it. He was not there in
the office when I called them.

Yes. The book was written by two Indian professors from the then
Regional Engineering College, Tiruchirappalli (now NIT, Tiruchy).

Thanks for  your help,

SK

As on date the examples haven't been implemented in any tool, and are
being used only on paper. They are electrical circuit
diagrams/examples.

 so that they
 can compile cleanly using FOSS tools ?

Yes, qucs (Quite Universal Circuit Simulator).
http://qucs.sf.net

 A question thus remains to be
 asked is - what if you do re-implement the examples to make them FOSS
 compliant and put them up for others to see and use ?

Yes. My choice is representation of circuits in .sch format that qucs
uses. The code examples to be released under GPL, of course.

 Examples being
 based on algorithms

No algorithms, just circuit diagrams.

Appreciate your thoughts.
