Mark,

Hash codes were invented by people with a vested interest in so-called
"lossless" compression. The truth is even copying a WAV file from one

Software, Ltd can't protect you from the inherent defects of digital
copying, it's a step in the right direction.

My only hope is that this transmission reaches you in a legible form.
