1) You could print out all the source code. Run it through a shredder, then bake it in the oven (low temp reccomended) and make a pillow out of it.

>>>Today it was announced that a foxpro application that I created in 1994 is being phased out. The kidney unit (who I still support a few hours per week) is moving to an Oracle-based database that is hosted over the internet. They were happy with the application, but they were required to move to the Oracle system because of a provinical mandate.
