Hi, actually, I was just referring to the idea of patenting the algorithm itself in relation to, in some extent "emotional", issue of software patenting. In this case, a patent will be almost worthless because there are many possible algorithms and a patented algorithm will just be bypassed by other programmers. Read: "there's no money in it".
Government certification is another matter. This differs from country to country. Personally, I will not attempt to develop a grouper myself. I dont have the needed deep knowledge and my spare time is very limited. regards, elpidio On Monday 28 June 2004 14:44, Joachim Mollin wrote: > Hi, > > you are right.
