I am trying to copy protect my xbase++ exe using Microcosm's (UK) Copy 
Minder product. I would like to know if anybody has been able to implement 
copy protection using shell method.

Brian,

I too have been using Protection Plus since Clipper days.

Which version are you using?

Don,

Took me awhile to find where everything was stored... it's been an
automatic part of the program for so long. i had forgotten where
everything was.. 

I think we're on 4.1. from 2001.

Hi Ashvin,

I've been using Copyminder very successfully for over 3 years now and I am
very happy with it. I am using the cm.dll method which works like a charm.

Hi Ben,
    I presume that the Shell Method of protection is more secure, as it 
creates an "envelop" around the EXE, so that it is difficult to crack 
compared to Dll method. I have also forwarded a sample EXE to CopyMinder 
team. They have promised to figure out if it is possible to use Shell 
method.
  Implementing dll method will require C coding, in which I am not so 
comfortable.
  I just hope that CopyMinder team comes up with some solution for Shell 
method.

Hi Ashvin,

No C++ programing is required, you can do it all in xBase++.
See the sample prg attached with wrapper functions you need.

Regards,

Ben

Hi Ben,
    Thanks for the sample prg. I suggest that you send this prg to 
CopyMinder team so that they can include it in their samples folder. It 
would be great help for Xbase developers who wish to use CopyMinder.

Regards
Ashvin Adodra
