Ok, let's not hide bits... I am truly sorry I asked...
What would be a easy way just to keep a persistant int around that is part
of the app itself short of a database record. If someone does delete the
app it goes away with it. They could reinstall it... but if they are going
to do that they probably will just hack it anyways. I just wanted to add a
reminder. Is there a easier way to do this other than by creating a
database record or is that the way to go? I would imagine you could find
the location in memory of that int, lock it down and change it, from the app
itself? or not?
Thanks
