Realistically, how would we track it, unless the code was modified to require it? I like John's solution. Overall, I trust the customer to do the right thing.

And that's the object, right? To keep doing cool games. -Rick Mulligan Interplay Productions My opinions are my own, not Interplay's. And don't tell the lawyers that they let me out of my cage.
