Mr Lokey, shame on you!  How thoughtless! You forgot to post Mr.
Linares response to this!

I don't know what hidden interests you represent.

All I say is that all that you describe is totally FALSE, and that I
would be willing to discuss this in a court and demonstrate the truth.
Right now I am giving a copy of your email to my lawyer to start
taking the necessary legal actions against you for your lies and
damages on my public image.

Up to now I did not want to publically answer you as this is a
technical forum, but your previous message has gone too far.

Let me pint out that Mr. Morero claims to have seen Mr. Linares in
possesion of decompiled code from Clip4win and Clipper lib, and that
they were the SAME module!  No where does he ever say that he saw Mr.
Linares disassemble it, but more importantly he never says that he saw
Mr. Linares  USE that code.  Of course not, he didn't, and if you will
take the time to disassemble the C4W and FiveWin you will find that
this code does not exixt in the FiveWin product.

Now, lets talk about that code that Mr. Morero claims to have seen....


Hello!  Mr. Skelton!  Would you care to come to the party and tell us
the name and purpose of that module?  

Would you care to tell us how you surmise that even if Mr. Linares did
take that code, that _YOU_ have any claim against him or anybody else
for it?

Lets assume, JUST FOR THE SAKE OF ARGUMENT that Antonio did lift that
module (which he denies)....

I would just love be sitting in the courtroom, when you try to explain
to a judge and jury how you are claiming that Antonio Linares stole
the code which you hacked out of Clipper.lib and that _YOU_ are
entitled to claim that your copyright has been violated, when the code
in question never belonged to you in the first place, but
belonged(belongs) to Computer Associates?

This I gotta  see!

Mr. Skelton to the Judge:

"Judge, you don't understand.  I stole it fair and square it's mine,
and Antonio can't have it!"

See 'ya on the net!

Oh, yeah why did you post this stuff to all those other newsgroups?
Ada????
