All right, guys! Who writes the first/best un-shrouder? (Nuder?) - String constant regeneration is a piece of cake. - Identifier replacement: well, some of us are used to BASIC programs where identfiers are named A, B, C... Could be a useful name scheme. - Control structure translations: a bit harder, requires parsing. Dust off your Red Dragon. As long as there is a list of what the shrouder does, that can be used against it. -- Per Lindberg (The Mad Programmer) ! __!__ Front Capital Systems ! _____(_)_____ How to get high for real Linneg 5, 11447 Stockholm, Sweden ! ! ! !
