Of course your comment about attacking Armadillo instead of the application directly - well why not? It's fair game to the cracker. They just want the code, or at least, to an understanding of how it works.

Jos, in your reply to me (Message #972952) you said 'Compiling with encryption on and debug off protects nothing.' But I think that if you want to stop frivolous copying and to provide some level of protection against all but knowledgable hackers then compiling with encryption on and debug off is just as effective as using Armadillo, Konxise, etc.

Constructive frustration is the breeding ground of genius.
If there’s no willingness to moderate for the sake of good debate, then I have no willingness to debate at all.
Let's develop superb standards that will end the holy wars.
