Source Code?

I really don't want to release the code to the software because it contains a lot of secrets for decoding data that is typically unreadable.  Are you a VB programmer?  If so, I can give you the framework for accessing the SCP hardware.  If you are a C programmer, there is already source code available for accessing the SCP hardware and making a copier/imager.

There is already a batch function when converting files from .scp to .adf (just select the files and it converts them all).

Thanks for your response.  I too enjoy the progress.  Of course, I used to sit and run Windows 95 "Defrag" for fun also. Anyway, that's sorta why I wanted the source -- to add the little tweeks that I wanted for my own process, keeping all the other stuff that I like.

So, there are secrets in that program?  Secrets as in "if anyone knew that I knew these things and shared them with others, I would get in deep doo doo"?  Or maybe Secrets as in "these discoveries of mine are gonna make me a billionaire some day"?  It does sound exciting that you have those sorts of algorithms in there -- I'm certain I benefit from that work.  Smile 

Hmm... Perhaps a future version might distribute those "secrets" in a precompiled dll, while open-sourcing just the GUI portion?  That would certainly do for my own purposes.  I'm forced to do all my imaging while also doing other things, so the more "mindless" and seamless I can make the process for me, the faster I can empty this damn closet.
