I hope you get what you deserve. I suppose I'll be roasted and tortured in hell for 1 billion years for playing with software on somebody else's PC!!!! Or Perhaps IBM will arrest me and force me to program FORTRAN for 20 years. Thanks a lot for your help, Mr. or Ms. Ark. That does bring up a good question for net.micro.ethics, however: If you use a machine and discover that there are no documents for a program on it, does that mean that the program was pirated? (or could the manual have been lost, stolen, or could the original author of the program have given the owner a free copy?)) Should you then call the FBI and report the owner of the machine as a perpetrator of petty theft? What if a lot of people use a machine and someone throws on a copy of the latest, hottest software fad product. Is the Hard disk now ILLEGAL? Or is only the innocent searcher of directories who executes it the felon? Still waiting for hellfire and APL-PC-AP help, Jordan
