Perry, I understand your desire to copy protect the game. Though I deplore copy protection, if a program is good, I will still buy it. I wouldn't buy a program that I couldn't use for at least a week. Sorry that I don't have any better suggestion, but I feel that conventional copy protection is better than your proposed method. Maybe you can have some sort of necessary guide to play, etc., that is sent only on registration. This could be necessary to complete the game, thus, people would be encouraged to register. If you do this, just make the game playable for long enough without the guide that people wouldn't likely get to that point while waiting for the guide. If it is an arcade game, maybe the word could be required to be entered before one of the higher levels. Rodney Somerstein 73167,2165
