In the long run, copy protection doesn't work because of one simple fact: Anything that one person can put together, no matter how devious, someone else can take apart, especially if the second person is smarter than the first. Remember, breaking protection only has to be done once, and there are people who do it professionally. Now... do you feel safe? Better to make a product that people WANT to buy at a price they are willing to pay. I don't endorse software piracy, but neither do I endorse making life miserable for your customers. -- ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Computers will never replace the Clayton Elwell wastebasket when it comes to Elwell@Ohio-State.ARPA streamlining office work. ...!cbosgd!osu-eddie!elwell ----------------------------------------------------------------------
