Answering the question Didier asked.
He wants to know where to get the source as in "source code" and my reply
tells him he can't have the source. Xrouter is closed source as opposed to
open source software. You do know what open source software is Peter? Of
course you do working in IT as you do.
The reason people ask for the source to software is because they wish to
make changes to how the program operates. Given that Paula has empolyed an
"old world" model and doesn't release the source, if Didier wants changes
he can ask Paula if she will make them.
If Didier wanted a *COPY* of the program rather than the *SOURCE* he would
have used a search engine and simply downloaded it. It happens to be the
second item on Google if you search for "xrouter".
How do I know Didier wants the source code not a source of the program
binary? Well look at his website and you'll realise that Didier appears to
know how many blue beans make five when it comes to computing and the
internet and would have zero difficulty in locating a copy of Xrouter.
So there you go Peter. You can apologise for suggesting to the whole wide
world that in someway I am not giving accurate advice by return as you
obviously have nothing better to do that criticise those offering help
before you send any help yourself.
