Hi James It sounds absolutely disgraceful. Every new technology involves risk, and the willingness to assume risk is what entitles enterprise to reap a reward. But a parasitic and cynical attitude by a competitor funded by the public purse is not what you want to hear, if they copy your ideas they are stealing more than your ideas, they are robbing you of the incentive to assume risk in the first instance, and attacking the very basis of the New Zealand software industry. They should be in trouble with the Department of Trade and Industry at the very least. Which reminds me .... I think you might do well to make contact with the New Zealand Software Association http://www.nzsa.org.nz/. This national organisation is exactly about promoting software development in New Zealand, and you will find a wealth of good contacts. Keith
