You handed over the source without an escrow agent? Oops! Did you leave any backdoor entry points in it that would allow you to erase or corrupt it? Do you know how to make a Molotov cocktail? "What is it?" and he said, "I don't know. Let's kill it." - Ed Gadziemski

It won't pay your bills, but at least they won't be paying theirs on the back of your product, either. Grim satisfaction, I know, and I'm not one to recommend violence ever, except as a means to bring a halt to violence intitiated by others. But there must be some means available to you to deprive them of the benefit your product provides until they pay you for the fruits of your labor! Think, man! What can you do to prevent them from profiting by your hard work until you have been properly paid! Is there something we can boycott? Your buddies here will back you up, I feel sure...

You could always send them an e-mail saying that "....Oh, I accidentally forgot a glitch that I needed to correct and have made the code revisions for you...." with a nicely attached copy of whatever you would really like to send them!

Publish the source and the executable on the net. Direct his competitors to it :-) They'd be interested in knowing how his app works :-) Nish

NEVER EVER EVER EVER EVER SEND SOURCE CODE TO A CLIENT WITHOUT THEM SETTLING IN FULL BEFOREHAND It is also a good idea to place a visible message at the start of any executable software, etc, warning that it is a review copy only. ____________________ David Wulff hu·mour Pronunciation Key (hymr) n. & v.

Or email him a nice copy of BO along with a bot to search for bank account numbers. People who rip off programmers are not, as a rule, very bright. They have no clue what is possible; the only thing that saves them is the fortunate coincidence that the vast majority of technical people are exceptionally moral and decent (aside from their personal grooming, that is).
