Although I don't think its wrong to post someone else's code I don't think its right to do it either
I would say its fine as long as you credit them but if they say in their readme not to reproduce and distribute their code you shouldn't
I think its really only wrong if they ask for it not to be redistributed
Nonetheless I only post my own codes and I they are similar (or the same) as someone else's it is either a coincidence or they copied me

Edited after cringing at my past posts: I was defenitely in the wrong here, even though Beng specified in the readme that it was okay to use their codes, it was still something they made and they had the right to keep it as theirs. I'll be removing my other replies regarding this subject with this same message.
I'm sorry, everyone.

I think it's okay to use distribute someone else's code as long as you give proper credit to them. If they have specifically asked for it NOT to be distributed, then don't do it. Otherwise, I guess it's free reign?

They actually collect supplys but the animation is not great
I prefer the supply trucks and workers as they go through it
The Chinook just drops a net through the roof

I should check... I dunno.

The Workers slide standing still while entering the Warehouse. :P

I may make a mod (or change my supplies mod) which changes all the normal docks to warehouses and workers and chinooks to supply trucks (maybe different ones for each faction (there are a couple of extra trucks in w3dzh.big))

His last visit was 5 years ago. I can't find him, but I say the code was found in his map, and I didn't make the code, why are you asking this question while this is an easy code? I'm not saying his codes aren't hard he has many great maps, and could be the best ini coder of CnC generals ever.

I believe that's how most of us feel about our code
I don't care who uses my code as long as if they use some of it in a map or mod they credit me
