In this case the author has to to provide the sourcecode. Failing to do so got him kicked out, not the suspiscion, not the complainer, not the question wether or not List is a Crafty clone. It would be quite ironic if List was a crafty clone. For me as a dutchman the name Crafty has a feeling of "cunning" and List has a meaning of "cunning trick" Tony > >My program has some of the same names.
