Ed, Before I say anything can I state that I'm on your side here - I think you should guard your work - I just also think it's tough to do from a legal point of view! >>>It's covered by the copyright notice, it's the first thing that you see on >>>the screen when the installation starts. As far as I know Copyright is different from what I described. In UK law running a program is copying it from disk to memory. AFAIK copyright would only protect you if someone tried to sell an opening book based on one of yours. I think it would be tough to legal enforce that someone could not buy your product analyse it as I described in my original question and use the subsequent book in a tournament. >>Moreover, it's not necesarrily legally enforcable. I'd tend to agree. >Try me, I suggest an examination trial, would you take the bite? Hmmm, having been burnt by taking legal proceedings, it is my opinion that taking the legal action is the very last options. The lawyers would have a field-day with this one - it's not clean-cut so the fees would just start to mount up. IMO the lawyers would be the only winners. Regards, Steve
