You have made a comment here which I feel must be addressed. In order
to make the ICR2 tracks work with N2, alterations must be made to files
written by Papy. Otherwise, anyone could just copy the files over to
their N2 directory without complications. As for the international
copywright, It takes more than just writing a program for it to be
copywrighted. There are very long and difficult processes involved
ingetting copywrights, especially at the international level. As I have
stated before, I have no problems with Dave's program or his desire to
profit from his work, however, one must keep the facts straight.
