Hi Will,

Don't you agree that Bob's statement is enough? He has confirmned that his code
has been copied, including the bugs. Its his code. He knows it best. As an
academician, he also knows best how to disassemble and interpret them.

All that we don't know now is how much more has been copied.

Like you, I wanted to see it for my self. Try the disassembler that I used. Its
free, and with source code too (anyone want to clone a disassembler?). It looks
different (labels and number convention) from what Paul used but the assembly
output code is the same.

Would the author's denial change what is in the exe file?

Cheers...
