RichEdit DSU has been taken down.
The dsu is no more available for download. I don't encourage use of any downloaded copies in your fresh projects either
Embarassed

Sorry if anyone was hurt. Embarassed

I refrain from publishing DSUs hereafter.
I want to make it very clear however that this DSU was borne completely from the documentaton available in the Platform SDK and at MSDN and NOT any reversing. I am taking this action just to keep everyone here happy that's all.

CodeScript I was not refering to your richedit dsu in anwyay so please go ahead and put it back up.

>> On other subjects.

We can get into symantecs on what reverse engineering is, however either way it's unethical to download someones software for the purpose of duplicating it as one of your objectives.

I have no problem with seeing how a program works, but debugging it to the point you try to find how it is exactly operates is another thing all together.

I am in no way refering to any vds clones or anything of the such. Mac's vds clone is not a case of reverse engineering from what he has told me since he did not debug the vds software, but only has a similar syntax. But I still think it somewhat unethical to copy the vds software.

I am refering to other people when I speak of specific case of reverse engineering on this site.

No One asked/forced me to remove the DSU.
But I wished the apple of discord not be there.
Hope I/we don't have more of them here(±after) Wink

CodeScript in no way was I refering to your richedit.dsu. In fact you've helped me add alot of features to the vdsobj richedit - such as zoom in/out, many api's. Also helped me add the transparent background to the IMAGE component.

Also I've had communication with you on MSN about your richedit and other dll's, we've worked with each other so I don't think removing your richedit dsu is necessary.

This thread is getting worn down and people are starting to misunderstand
each other, so to avoid more misunderstandings etc., it will be locked for
awhile.
