And I've been there for months. :-) So I guess it is no big suprise that I retrieved a virgin copy of the 2.0-R source tree a little while ago, so that I could write up a set of notes that one might use to reconstruct the magic binaries I've got. I'll let you know over the next few days what I discover. However, I still do not know if it is legitimate to provide such materials to a non-US citizen, particularly since when you are "on" thud or another box, copies of the code are still being transmitted out of the country, and as I really am unclear on all this, I won't have that potentially over my head. If Walnut Creek is clear on the legal issues, I would be more than happy to ask Walnut Creek to issue me an account on one of their development boxes and I will make my code available there, with suitable disclaimers and warnings. If they feel that it is permissible to allow you to access the files, fine! It is then either on your head or theirs, not mine. :-) But I will not give you the code myself. This country is mostly pretty good. But there are some funny laws. Back to hacking, ...
