may bother to really take too much trouble to reverse engineer it. All the same I do not want it to be as simple as a java decompiler wherein the code is regenerated from a jar file to perfection. Not so easy to break a Delphi Exe. I am not used to such fantastic support. Good team work out here. Thanks. Regards Allan Fernandes

I, for one, don't care if someone steals my code or not. If a client hires me to do something, whatever code I write is his -- that's simple enough. I wasted more years than I am willing to admit trying to protect code, there's no doing it. And this is especially true on the net where you can't even guarantee that a password is safe. So, my advice -- write good code, pick up your check, and move one to the next client. Stop worrying about protecting your code and hope that you get good enough that someone wants to steal it.

BAD IDEA BUSTER!!! Always backup your code so it's protected from crashes!! ;)

Rob: Did you forget to take your meds this morning? I'm not talking about backup. :-) But you did raise a point I forgot to mention. When I write something for a client, it's his. But, it's also mine to be reused as I see fit. I am not above selling the same code to several different clients.
