- The source code he gave out was for a much older version. No I
- haven't actually seen it myself. I tried to get source code from
- Darek at one point and although he didn't tell me I was an anal
- sphincter, he did his best to try to make me feel like one.
- (Basically he said that Xformer was as good as it could ever be, and
- could not be improved, therefore morons like me who thought they could
- improve it weren't worth the 15 minutes it would take him to upload
- the code.)
-
- To anyone trying to get source for Xformer, or anything else, from
- Darek...don't waste your time.
