One caution about reverse engineering; while it may be legal to do, it is illegal to use 'borrowed' code in other code that you might release or resell without permission. In some cases this might also include a method of doing something (IE: software patents).
There have been many cases recently where companies were sued for having parts of someone else's code in their for sale code. A concern when changing jobs has to do with this. Someone with intimate knowledge of someone's source code is considered risky to another company with a similar product. Whether or not it is the intention, it is difficult to not re-use code that one has seen else where. And the original code is copyrighted or the implementation is patented, hello fun with the legal system. jim _______________________________________________ QL-Users Mailing List http://www.q-v-d.demon.co.uk/smsqe.htm
