What he released was a text file of comments that related to specific positions in a disassembly of the Exec, and a program that would disassemble the _user's_ Exec and tack the comments on in the appropriate places, leaving the user with a text file that consisted of a commented disassembly of the Exec. There was absolutely _NO_ Exec code in the program he released. He even included appropriate disclaimers to the effect that it would only work with 1.2, and that this just represented _his_ idea of what was going on, and in no way was to be considered _official_ information. Let's make sure we have our facts straight before we start flinging the arrows, ok people? -Rick ------------------- Rick Morrow, Ottawa Ontario Canada Internet....rsm@delfax.Amiga.OCunix.On.Ca, Fido Net....1:163/109.31 Quote: "I yamm what I yamm!"......Popeye.. =-) ------------------- -Rick ------------------- Rick Morrow, Ottawa Ontario Canada Internet....rsm@delfax.Amiga.OCunix.On.Ca, Fido Net....1:163/109.31 Quote: "I yamm what I yamm!"......Popeye.. =-) -------------------
