Dennis, I'm not actually affiliated with Chen who created this tool, I'm just a convert.;-)

>>So how long for a finished product?

The add-on should include seamlessly in the product- literally you can include a .h in the C++ and the new function will be available. Chen has a MD5/AES version right now that slots into the dll and works, but I want to do a bit more. Honestly I wouldn't wait- it's already more secure than what you already have and when this is finished you can just compile again to get the feature.

>>Two digit price for compiler and add-on? If not what are the prices?

I'll ask Chen to confirm, but he quoted me a 2-digit-price per developer for 3 developers.

>>Here's the thing. I'm using MoleBox right now. I guess not unbreakable according to what you previously said in this thread.

Sorry but it's *very* easy to peel your entire project with scx, vcx, prg, dbf, bmp etc out of Molebox. If you've used a free dbf it takes <5 minutes otherwise maybe 15 minutes.

>>Would I still be able to use MoleBox with [the] tools? I like being able to ship everything needed in a single EXE so that using my app is just a matter of copy/paste without additional file installation.

VFP Compiler has a "green distributable" that gives you a single exe that unpacks the C++ and VFP runtimes the first time it runs, but it's problematic in Vista and Win7 unless you run as admin the first time. Probably this could be improved so it knows to escalate privileges. I'd recommend you send Chen an email (address in documentation) to ask him and see for yourself how responsive he is.
"... They ne'er cared for us
yet: suffer us to famish, and their store-houses
crammed with grain; make edicts for usury, to
support usurers; repeal daily any wholesome act
established against the rich, and provide more
piercing statutes daily, to chain up and restrain
the poor. If the wars eat us not up, they will; and
there's all the love they bear us.
