The best way is to place a copyright message in the program, and maybe to add a note saying that the code belongs to you and may not be used without your permission. Technical solutions don't work. How much do big companies invest in technical solutions? How well do they work? Having said that, you'll no doubt get a number of suggestions that might make it harder to see the source. Maybe that is sufficient for you. -- Paul Johnson - [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.pjcj.net -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
