Summary: Huh?

John Hallesy,

Excuse me, but I didn't get that impression at all from the note you
replied to. You accuse the fellow of being a second rate pirate when
it sounds to me like he was simply asking for a way to set the  FILE
protection bits (not copy protection).  It  seems clear to me all he
wanted to do was delete the deja vu .info file and couldn't  because
of odd characters in the file name. Am I wrong? 

If not, I strongly urge  you  to  appologize  to  this person in the
same public forum you accused him of being an (inept) pirate (and in
the future,  unless YOU  want  a  mbox full of flames, I suggest you
practice a little bit more moderation).

Also, I found it rather odd  that  you  pat yourself on the back for
your  copy  protection and then  note  some  copy program broke your 
brother's   game   even   before  it  came out.  So  much  for  copy
protection. And so  much  for your brother recouping any of the work
he put in.  Next  time,  don't let beta copies (of any sort) out for
any reason  (ie: do  all beta testing in house - or in your case, in
family).
