>>Hi John. I am not a lawyer so I do not know what this act implies for Refox. However the idea of taking Refox to court does not quite make sense to me. They provide a product which helps you recover your source code from your exe if you have lost the original code. If someone misuses this tool then surely that person should be punished, not the tool maker? This would be the same as taking key manufacturers to court because someone used a master key to break into your house. And by the way, there are several decompilers for VFP apps around. Refox are not the only ones.

Hi Fabio. Well this is why I phrased it "not quite make sense to me". I understand and agree that Refox feel no guilt. I also appreciate that for every issue there must be responsibility allocated. You are of course correct in pointing that out.

And MS of course also bear responsibility for an insecure o/s with insecure coding tools. But even if they had made secure tools and o/s what about the programmer who does not apply the security properly? The end-user who does not use it properly? Surely the crook who abuses/misuses the tool must bear the greatest part of the responsibility?

Perhaps it is easier to "get" the tool manufacturer than the crook ...
