"Ivan, this is his university project, if we give him too much help, he is cheating, as it is I think his institution should be told. "

You are right.

When I corrected a small segment of the assembly code and posted it back I expected Eric to revert back with his feedback on the trial. Atleast that way there was some hope that he will try and crack the code further. But to my utter surprise he is now after Ivan for a full code.

Sad he has not grabbed two of my genuine attempts to help him ( the other one was in thread which was short closed )
