What a **scummy** thing to do. I agree with Chuq; this is nothing but a thinly veiled protection gambit. Even if HyperZoom's patent *was* infringed, it seems extremely doubtful that any scripters would be legally liable. *Apple* would be the one who would be liable -- perhaps HyperZoom is just too afraid to sue them (and with just cause, too), so they're going after the users instead?? Thats like if someone had a patent on the daisy-wheel suing every one who owns a typewriter. (not than anyone actually USES a typewriter anymore :-) :-) -Laura Lemay lemay%lorelei@sun.com Redhead. Drummer. Geek.
