Hi Doug,

Yeah, that's me <g>.

>>Thank you Bob. Thos are very kind words. I understand that

>>true. I have a pretty straightforward view of human nature

Huh? A possibility? Does Refox not include both a decompiler and an anti-decompiler? Do they not promote the latter as a way of defeating those who use the former? Is their technology not regularly defeated, prompting each half of Xitech's customer base (hackers and anti-hackers) to feel compelled to upgrade in order to fend off the advances of the other half?

I'm not sure what part of that you think is only a possibility. Do you suppose that Xitech isn't _aware_ that they are arming both camps??

I wonder whether you would think that "extortion" was the right word if it were revealed (hypothetically <g>) that the makers of the major anti-virus programs also sold "Virus Construction Kits" to college students?

>>Good to hear from you. What are you doing these days??

Locked in an office with no windows and being fed bread and water until we get a new product out....
