Yeah, you get all pissed when Equibase et.al. try and stop people from distributing their stuff, but when a guy tried to come on here and sell a handicapping software program, you're all over him and accusing him basically of selling bootleg copies...I'll never let that one go if you continue to be an apologist for people who love passing around data files and whatnot, then complain that the prices keep going up....

In the forward to the book from which I copied the code the author (Dick Mitchell) says "Readers are encouraged to make photocopies of favorite pages for distribution to friends." IMHO this makes it legal to reproducing the code here.

I despise Equibase and their corporate greed .......
Everything is produced electronically and sent its merry way to paying users
But how much does it really cost them???
All I can see is some a-hole sitting in his underwear and making racing comments from videos that anyone can do themselves....and the rest is computer produced.
They stopped this kid that created a useful free software that was very popular once it was known..
They made Whobets site difficult to maneuver easily .....
thats why I dont mind files being passed around...and to F^$k Equibase

And for guys selling software , its underhandedly screwing the developer...

Ignorance on full display.

You think EB is a one man company? No salaries except one dude? No IT department? No chart callers at all the tracks in the country? No marketing? No HR? No proofers? Just a little ol' computer program that spits out PPs and a dude watching videotapes?

You're an idiot.

And a ****ing hypocrite to boot.

Not ok to screw software developer, but ok to screw Equibase.

Makes sense to you I guess.

Ask some of the developers here on how much they get out of the $140 monthly that we pay....

Equibase sets the standards !!!

Your arguments would be so much more effective if it sounded like you actually knew what you were talking about.

Based on your "1 man operation" Equibase scenario, it's clear you have a long way to go.

Handifast is supposed to be open source. As far as I can tell the source code in in the .tkn file that is part of the download. If so, then how do you read it? If I use textedit all I see is gibberish.

The .tkn file is the way that Liberty Basic tokenizes (compiles) the Basic code. You need the .bas file. I believe mmdorn posted what you need in #1140. HF source
