Gerd,
I hope that you also read my message where I explained how you might think if
really some bad intention were working against ElChinito. You know what I am
split in two when I see a programmer defend a collegue but then must realise the
worst possible case. In my eyes the knocker against your attempts was what Bob
pointed out. That such a long code could NEVER be written by two persons and
then leading still to the same assembler code. But copying such a long code with
all the bugs etc. is certainly fraud. There is nothing that could cure it. It is
not a court case where someone still should be heard. The scientifical proof is
there. - A different question is what should happen with these programmers, but
also here Bob did already mention that he had no interest in further
investigation. If becoming commercial that would change things however IMO. -
Finally I hope that you didn't see me in any driving role. I was just reporting
anf to Frank I tried to say the obvious from an independent standpoint.
Best to you, Gerd.
