justwhateverThis kind of code is normally FREE. Hell, I wouldn't be surprised if it was just repackaged code from RealSoftware (not that I know one way or the other)...
The 12 (!!!) included functions are of the type "Test for file exists" which in REALbasic is just something like
Dim f As FolderItem // reserve a place in memory for a folderitem
f=GetOpenFolderItem(FileTypes1.Quicktime) // open dialog to load a quicktime movie
If f <> Nil and f,exists then // did the user select a movie? does the file exist?
MoviePlayer1.movie=f.OpenAsMovie // then open the movie
End if
so it just makes it more difficult rather than easier.
Or his "create an email" in REALbasic is simply
Dim mail as EmailMessage
mail = New EmailMessage
mail.fromAddress= EditField_MyEmailAddress.text
mail.subject = EditField_SubjectText.text
mail.bodyPlainText = EditField_email_bodyText.text
Ridiculous.
As the author also states "Additional functionality was added by the use of plugins from MonkeyBread Software" he might infringe on the copyright of the excellent Monkeybread Software plugins (http://www.versiontracker.com/dyn/moreinfo/macosx/16127, 5 Star ratings) as you are allowed to use them in your compiled apps, but I don't think you can "sublet" them in any form which would be required if he uses them in his encrypted module).
There is a strong suspicion in the REALbasic community that he is just repacking code that others have given away for free. This suspicion stems in part from the fact that his other product REALbasic Syntax Highlighter Module seems to be a repackaged version of Alex Resrepo's SyntaxHighlightEditField which is free
