Curt Welch posts a fascinating explanation of the cracking of the VCR Plus codes, replacing my speculation and inference with facts-- always welcome. Good job. Since some of the movies shown on Cable are of unusual length or occur at odd times, and since it is convenient to be able to tape several shows in sequence without having to back up over extraneous material at the end (especially if one is away), it would be a real public service if Curt and his colleagues would find their way clear to returning to the task for longer numbers. By the way, I should have realized that one doesn't need published codes to do the job--just a VCR Plus device and the time to punch in codes. I'm not clear on one thing, though. The device doesn't tell you the duration of the program, except to the nearest hour. How does one determine that part of the coding system without using published codes? Finally, I wonder of Curt or any of his colleagues have compiled the c code for the Mac? -- David Sternlight RIPEM Public Key on server -- Consider it an envelope for your e-mail
