Jeff, The second suggestion is not that good. Anyone that's good with a debugger (and there are a lot of good debuggers on the PC) can crack the code no matter what you do. There are some very interesting threads in the IBMPRO libs that go over a lot of ways that you can try to fool a debugger with self modified code, but even that can be cracked. It's unfortunate, but until someone comes up with a better way, there's not much you can do to stop piracy. I think most pirates are just collectors. Anyone who really wants to use something like 3DS, they will buy it. Your first suggestion is better. IMHO 3DS is not worth $3k, and there is a lot of other expensive CRAP out there! Ever look at Multimedia Toolbook? $800 for this hunk of sh*t! When my boss first wasted the bucks on MMTB, I installed it, ran the demo, and guess what… Crash! It didn't like the fact I had Windows in 800 * 600 mode. I feel the shrink wrap laws need to change! If I buy something, and it don't run on my system, requires me to re-configure my machine, or can't do the job I bought it for, I want my money back <period> But thats another story. John, I do think Interchange and Interfont were cool. So please don't think I busting on your software 🙂 I don't think it's worth $500 though.
