I would like to thank everyone for their comments and input on this.

After thinking about it I've came to the obvious conclusion that posting this is simply a bad idea.

I've also thought of something else. What about the 'digital millinum act' law? When I first remembered this I figured that my post of this might actually be breaking that law. Then I think about it even more, and for all practical purposes doesnt refox break this law?

Take for example the Russian 'hacker' that was arrested by the FBI while in California for exposing inferor encryption techniques by Adobe, isnt Refox in effect doing the same thing? Thus far to my knowledge he has been the only one that has actually been charged with this law, and it's my understanding that it's so vauge that the odds of actually getting it to stick are probably pretty slim. They eventually released the guy and let him go home, but he was facing up to 25 years in prison and a $250,000 fine!!!...all for exposing the fact that Adobe's securty sucks.

So who to blame..MS for making it to easy to decompile, refox for doing it, me for beating refox? Seems like the whole mess could be avoided with a new compiler. Add to my wish list for VFP 8 !!!

Again, thanks everyone for your comments, it has helped me make what I know is the right decsion.
