Thanks Ted. The code is written in C# and displayed on ASP pages. URL's
in the address bar are hidden and don't change when going from page to page.
I suggested they contact their lawyer. They can get by with just the

would involve a simple copy. We'll see how much they want to charge us
for that.
Thanks,
