> a) its just a paper, no presentation @ palmsource

> b) the paper is to express all the information i have gathered over

> - code examples of the ideas implemented (C and asm sources)
> - explanations of how they are beaten
> - ideas to extend on the idea? (up to reader)

> d) the paper may in fact, be used to encourage people NOT to protect
