I'd always thought it was a little strange that our favorite non-resident Paris Guru,
Edmund Pirali, didn't take his cat home with him when he left the building at v.3.1...
(of course, I say "his"...maybe it belonged to SSC) Still, he was apparently fond enough
of the little beast to have it with him to the office from time to time, and even to include a pic
in the Paris exe. (For those who havn't seen the cat: in the Editor, hold Control plus Shift,
then Right Click on the little cat icon in the Tools bar)
Then, a couple of years ago, I ran across something about coders who were hiding and exchanging code in,
of all places, cat pictures. Then I thought,"Yes!! That's it.. the source code isn't missing, it's hidden in the cat picture!!"
But then, nah, I suppose that when he compiled for the last time before handing off to Mike, that old bmp sitting
there was the last thing on his mind...
Something for the conspiracy theorists maybe...but still, if anyone could find a way to do it, the eminent Mr.Pirali would surely be one...
and I'm guessing that the equally eminent Mr. Audet could find a way to peek under the hood of that old bmp and check Wink

Here is the picture. I wish I could get the source file out of it. Smile
I think a decompiler is our best bet, unfortunately.

Hmm...if it had been a dog picture, I wouldn't have thought twice about any of this,
but as we know, cat lovers are a different breed. And, of course, I couldn't code my
way out of a wet paper floppy disk, so can't be of any help:)
Thanks for taking a peek anyway;)

I actually took a look at the image file with a text editor just to see if any source code was there, but no luck. Smile
