I remember when object code (from a compile) was assembler (regradless of language). The loops would start with negative numbers and the variables were addresses. It is a lot of work to back engineer from a decompile. It just doesn't make sense. If someone wants to emulate what another program does, what better tool than VFP in the hands of an experienced VFP developer. We can do anything we can imagine with VFP - period. We can hook into anything when we need to. Refox is simply taking advantage of a recent curious cultural phenomena, the "duct tape" security stzich. It will never work but it satisfies our need to conform to a shared "perceived" threat!:-)

But that's amrketing - and the Refox "board" would be remiss if they didn't recognize, regardless of the waste of adrenalin, that a demographic exists that worries about this and would be willing to swipe the card to get it! Duct Tape!
