You have not released the source code. As >Bob does. An executable does not count. My online relationship with Bob extends over 10 years. During 1996, he asked me if I was interested in going to Jakarta to be Crafty's operator for him. I was, but due to the polictical instability of the region at the time, I ultimately had to back out. I actually chatted with him a few times over the phone during that time. I have akways released my source code changes to Bob. I am not a programmer and I am reluctant to release any of code I worte to the "public". Bob has all my source code changes and he can decide what if any of the code should be incorporated. Bob does not seem to have a problem with that, if you do - I can't help you. Sorry.
