I'll just have to put it into my IPSP implementation, then. I am more than willing to pay a few tens of thousands to lawyers for this particular purpose. I will produce a text description of the algorithm and have an intern re-implement it from scratch just to make sure -- I'll probably prepare some notarized documents attesting to the development methodology, too. It will be fun to see if Jim Bidzos actually tries to pull something under those circumstances. Perry
