Yes and yes. > Your thoughts/suggestions are very much appreciated Think about what you really want to achieve. Are you embarrassed about your code? Clean it up. Do you not want people to copy it? Put a copyright notice on it. Does it contain some secrets? Have them sign an appropriate contract. If I really want to find out how your program works, I'll do it. I realise that this is probably not the answer that you were after, but hiding your source code is probably not the answer either. -- Paul Johnson - [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.pjcj.net -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
