    There are plenty of alternatives to
 
        a) sending our proprietary code over the unprotected Internet
        b) disclosing our code to a third party
 
    The answer to a) is: don't do it. Get MD/SOO permission to use a courier.
 
    The answer to b) is:
 
        o Isolated the bug(s) to the smallest amount necessary to reproduce
          the error. According to the previous email traffic between these
          two people, there were two compile-time bugs. The programmer can
          be faulted for not using two orders of magnitude fewer lines for
          demonstrating the error. A small fragment of code can be emailed.
 
        o If the problem is compile-time, email the relevant C/C++
          preprocessor output snippet. The comments by the programmer in the
          email transfer state THE CODE DOESN'T COMPILE ANYWAY.
 
        o Have the vendor deliver a "debug" version of their product. That
          would be a good use for email. Sun Microsystems does that with a
          C++ product for us, their customer. Email the results back.
 
        o Have the vendor visit to troubleshoot.
 
        o Requested a login via SecureID and Salomon's netblazer, supporting
          28.8 PPP (TCP/IP for windowing connectivity) for the vendor. Let
          them transfer in any tools they need to troubleshoot.
          Short-term access.
 
        o If it is truly necessary to transfer a large amount of code, such as
          Informix working to convert a larg
