Not only is this reply absolutely useless, but it unjustifiably implies that this person may have acquired his copy of Microsoft C in a less than legal manner. Isn't a person still innocent until proven guilty in this country? It is entirely possible that Mr. Tessler has read the section of the manual that was cited and doesn't understand it. It wouldn't be the first time that a computer manual was less than adequate. It is also possible that, for any of a number of perfectly legitimate reasons, Mr. Tessler does not have access to that section of the manual. It is bad enough that the alleged "software piracy" problem (please, please, please! - let's not start a discussion about this, because it won't solve anything!) has everybody paranoid, but that's no reason to refuse to help somebody with a problem just because it LOOKS to you like they may have pirated copy. Like my mother used to say - "If you can't say anything nice, then don't say anything at all."
