Josh,

I wasn't even thinking if it was legit code or not. Good point. My concern was whether you as the owner of Refox should be using it for a third-party. I'm not sure what the agreement says, but I can see very valid arguments on both sides. 1.) If someone needs Refox, then let them buy it like everyone else. 2.) Is this any different than someone offering to convert some old Clipper files as a favor. Not sure what the rules are in your case. The sellers of Refox might have an opinion though...
