In unix it clearly is not. Sorry for posting all of the context. Usually I avoid to do this, but sometimes, it seems impossible. To Robert Hyatt - I cannot see anything concrete in your argument. What do you mean be "that talked one or the other"? Who is one? Who is another? Is it so difficult to say just once: "ok, I was wrong here"? Really seems to be the case. Our very first discussion here on CCC was about random numbers. I seriousily believe, that I know a lot more about this, than you. But it was no problem for you, to teach me some lectures about pseudo random number generators (I believe most of it was just wrong) Still, you allways try to have the last word (with very doubious arguments, IMHO). You seem to have more time for such discussions than me. So, sooner or later, after all your diversifications, I must give up. It is very similar in this discussion. Also, I have sent you tells many times at ICC. Very friendly ones, I think (and honestly meant very friendly). You never answered. Yesterday, I asked about some clarification of crafty finger note 8 on ICC by a mess to hyatt. Instead of answering, you prefered to delete my message. After all this, can I take your comments seriously anymore? To come back to the discussion of this threat. Do you seriously believe, that a commercial engine, that is only available for Windows environement, can be modified with a hex editior, and will run under Unix afterwards? Regards, Dieter
