I do not CARE who uses my source files, nor for what purpose. I "Gave
UP" caring, after my files were mercilessly STOLEN by one guy from your
country and two others from the Czech Republic and Russia. If I still
DID care about sources, I would NEVER have released XMGR/UDMA/UDVD with
full source files! But I have better things to do than fight THIEVES!

Lucho's comments to you are NOT AT ALL from me! The idea that you may
"fear" my source code is his idea, NOT mine. I will admit that I told
him and Johnson Lam how UPSET I am, that so many guys in this sad World
can "use" others' software WITHOUT even the common "courtesy" of ASKING
if this is acceptable BEFOREHAND! Just see how QUICKLY my new drivers
"appeared" on the IBiblio server, without ANYBODY at the Circus Maximus
ASKING if it was O.K. with ME! Even AFTER my posting about "lawyers",
I guess they STILL must have believed I might yet say "No". WRONG!!!!

If you also can't understand how obsolete XDMA/XCDROM now are, for want
of many cumulative "bug fixes", caching, SATA support, and possibly for
"automatic" caching in UDVD (it may soon LOSE its /C switch!), then you
need to learn how many BAD BIOS programs still run SATA in DOS systems,
and you need to learn how slow CD/DVD "seeks" are. Caching ALL CD/DVD
directories (not merely the last-used block as in SHCDX33C), eliminates
those "seeks" and gives me 40% faster CD/DVD speed, as it gives others!

If you like using obsolete software, that is your business. But DON'T
"assign" words to ME before you even try to learn the TRUTH! It tends
to make you look like a DAMNED LIAR!!!
