For whatever it's worth, there used to be a very notorious bozo using Apple II's who called himself "The Vulture". A large number of commercial programs with copy-protection removed sported complex logos ``advertising'' the fact that the "vulture" had done it. It sounds like the same kind of mentality & the same kind of skills at work. I don't know where the vulture-cracked programs came from, but I saw a number of them here in Toronto Canada. -- Dept. of Computer Science (vision group) University of Toronto Reasonable mailers: dudek@ai.toronto.edu Other UUCP: {uunet,ihnp4,decvax,linus,pyramid, dalcs,watmath,garfield,ubc-vision,calgary}!utai!dudek ARPA: user%ai.toronto.edu@relay.cs.net
