Have you tried using a hydraulic press, I prefer the 50T units myself.

Well, when I was very young and foolish, we would place and item on the raairoad track and the train would conpress it. But a railroad detective had use sent to juvenile hall. So it was not a very good compression method.

Then you know less than I thought that you did. It's never legal, read the EULA.

copywrights should be respected
but EULAs are worthless
and not worth the paper or bytes they are recorded on
when was the last time the courts did something about breaking the eula
and if you dont distribute it your not breaking copywright
because the data is still on your machine
its simply in a difrent location and or format

Post by: Salmon Trout on September 10, 2009, 12:29:03 AM: smeezekitty, we don't care what you did. It is not relevant. It's just that we don't offer public help to to do it on this site. Why is that so hard for you to understand?
