Victor,

Thanks for generating some interest in this area. Perhaps the community can come up with something workable since MS doesn't give a rat's *** about what some of us consider a problem.

If you need any help in this area, let me know. For my part, I've had some success by imbedding Fox EXE's as resources within non-Fox EXE's.

This thing in itself is not the solution to protect our VFP apps from crackers, but I think if it's used in conjunction with something else (assuming it's possible) it might be worthwhile. Like I said before vfp apps that have been branded with a refox password are no good anymore, and the other product made by the same jerks that does compression is also worthless because you can do a memory dump and STILL end up with the source code. Perhaps this gizmo with a better compression tool is the answer??? I'll do some more experimenting this weekend and see....
