. . . .|Keep in mind that without contacting someone at Microsoft it will be . . . .|difficult to prove, since the software license on the FreeBSD code would . . . .|allow Microsoft (or any company) to use the code, resell it and never . . . .|give credit to the original source. I thought they had to include the "Regents of California" etc etc stuff in the code they use ? If so would it not be possible to do: cd /win/WINDOWS strings * |grep -i BSD cd SYSTEM [SYSTEM32] strings * |grep -i BSD [or use a "for i in `ls` ; do strings $i |grep -i BSD ; done] [Yes I know it's not clean but it a very easy/fast] to just search for all BSD code in Miscrosoft exe's/dlls ? I'm not on a BSD box now, but I think this shouldn't take too long, and in theory should work. www.nul.cjb.net www.FreeBSD.org _________________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
