- Curt Welch posts a fascinating explanation of the cracking of the
- VCR Plus codes, replacing my speculation and inference with facts--
- always welcome.
-
- Good job.
-
- Since some of the movies shown on Cable are of unusual length or
- occur at odd times, and since it is convenient to be able to
- tape several shows in sequence without having to back up over
- extraneous material at the end (especially if one is away), it would
- be a real public service if Curt and his colleagues would find their
- way clear to returning to the task for longer numbers.
-
- By the way, I should have realized that one doesn't need published codes
- to do the job--just a VCR Plus device and the time to punch in codes.
- I'm not clear on one thing, though. The device doesn't tell you the
- duration of the program, except to the nearest hour. How does one
- determine that part of the coding system without using published
- codes?
-
- Finally, I wonder of Curt or any of his colleagues have compiled the
- c code for the Mac?
