It takes some time (could use a progress indicator) but for the rest its really good in detecting if a program is based on another program, as it looks mainly at the structure of the coding, and not to the naming etc. Disadvantage is you have to provide the whole code (with the include statements i presume) but some people wouldnt object to that i presume if asked *on beforehand* (before entering a tourn) to supply it to an independent tester who's promising to delete the stuff afterwards (at least i wouldnt). If i would be asked to supply your code in the middle of a tourn after some vague accusations of some of my 'colleague' programmers i would feel insulted (and it wouldnt surprise me if thats the case with F.R) best regards, jefk
