Dan, >>But Norm, that would be illegal. At least if it were a Microsoft DLL. Better go read your EULA, and remember that Microsoft never, never leaves the lawyers out of it. Illegal in the U.S., standard business practice in Shanghai I hear. Besides I would not actually be disassembling MSFT code, only allowing that possibility by others. What people do with my tools is something I am not liable for and a strong disclaimer most certainly will be in any EULA I tack-on to the product. Nowhere did I mention disassembling MSFT code so you are jumping to conclusions. My target audience would be those software developers who have lost their original source-code and need to reverse-engineer one of their own executables. Just trying to fill a niche-market and make a buck. As long as I make a lot of money that makes it okay, right? Just a simple software engineer trying to write great code and having trouble understanding the strange ways of the legal system. I can see now that it is best that the legal system stays out of the software business -- they just do not understand disassemblers. Cheers, Norm
