The concept of paying for the source is a good one, but the guy who owns the code makes that decision. Perhaps we (with AEC) will take that concept to heart, but that is seems like a wish list item to me. You know there are other reasons to Kelvinate. One is smaller code that loads faster. I think it will even run faster in cases where you may have used large variable names. It would be nice if you could just sell software without the concern of piracy, but you can't. And in light of "Bad Code" authors, will we start to have an "At the Command: line" critique on programing code? I can see it now…..

Gene> "I think your wrong there, I felt it was an original and refreshing way of performing an old routine, I give it a thumbs up!" CLICK! I wonder what's on cable?> You know, the way a program's code is set up can really depend on the theories of operation that the programer had in mind. – And – Perhaps it IS bad or useless code but those of us without sin, compile the first byte. My suggestion is to outline to the author what you consider to be the faults of the routine, so he can either refute or learn from your observations. Jamie
