You can read about the second case of cloning in several fora and that the author also promised to send the _real_ source, which should compile to Fafis 2.6 to WBEC _after_ a _lot_ of hints for a clone were already out. Of course it never happened. Several people had a look in the pseudo real source and even here there was enough to find... I wonder why we always have to discuss a clone again after the case was already closed for several months, just because an anonymous tries to gain some attention, or has a certain agenda? Is it just speculating on the bad memory of the community, a moot attempt in rehabilitating, when the dust had settled? Clones? What clones?! Did we ever have clones? (BTW did we ever have viruses in clones too? Rings a bell? Was it ever obfuscated? Did it ever reach 7 plies more between version 2.52 and 2.6 in a few weeks?) -> look up the WB forum, the WBEC forum, the Exacta forum and the CSS forum and search for 'Fafis + clone' and you'll find enough informations for case 1 + 2. ...snip ballyhoo...
