No, it's like stealing a program is illegal, but receiving a document *created* with that program is OK.

But I only raised the issue because people were hounding Angel for doing something which strictly speaking, isn't really illegal... (Unless you get into the issue over the Sony libraries...in which case it's not so clear; but then Angel hasn't got the PsyQ libraries; just the executable.) Pah. Ben ;-) N.B - Whilst I defend Angel's actions, I can wholely agree with Sony's position. Please don't tell me I don't... -- Screw you guys; I'm going home.
