I doubt if Vertex is worth one more message but ..

Matthew, you said ..
Just look for calls to subs dealing with date storage, retrieval and calculation. change pointers to new 'cooked' routines.

Just? Just? Just?

If you could 'just' define how to do that, there would be no problem!

I'm not saying you cant find some. But its impossible to find all of them (especially if you are looking at Object and not source). Or where, for example, the date has been moved around from place to place and ended up in something that gives no inkling it originated from a date. Like a unique record identifier for example, that is always greater than the previous one, until .....

Mind you, as pointed out previously, the fact that no testing is required is a real help and definitely gives me confidence in the people originating the scheme.

However, the fact that this patently cannot work is not necessarily an indication of the stock price for the next few months, but I wouldnt invest one cent in it.

Nope, I'd put my money in something safer, like some of those Canadian gold mining stocks held through an intermediary in the Caymans for example.
