Which raises the question whether Diamond will sue the coders and
distributers of this program, since they consider the techniques
proprietary. If not, this may be the ideal solution. I think it would be a
very good idea to have Diamond sign of on the code. I predict they will not
be willing to be bothered.

that there may be pirated licensed software on them.
