Tony, Copy protection bit will hinder the novice user - for a little while. Better to assume that you cannot prevent people from beaming or otherwise sharing your sw and encourage them to do so instead. Use the shareware limited "trial period" method after which a registration code (based on handheld ID?) is required to use the product or get rid of the bothersome nag screens. This will hinder the vast majority unless (unitl?) your application becomes very popular at which point some SH will decide it is worthwhile (ie. will boost his ego) to spend the time to crack your registration code scheme. JMO. Sigh...
