Hi Jason,

I haven't seen those, but typically, with compiled code, more than simply
the compiled version of your program goes into the executable...but with a
profile, isn't the profile a standard format etc???.

Imagine if film came with this foolish "restriction"...unless you bought the
more expensive film, you weren't allowed you to show your pictures to other
people...

Something sounds fishy here...can anyone elaborate as to what exactly, is IN
a profile file???

Regards,

Austin
