It wasn’t piracy, as it was written for a plant in the same company. I was simply surprised to see it, but was more surprised that it was written for windows 3.1, and it still worked flawlessly. And that such a program (that indeed I did put alot of effort into back in the day) was preferable to modern programs...hell the program was intended for a specific type of manufacturing line, of which this plant was not one of...though apparantly it was customizable enough

I get you. I've seen that type of thing occur in my days as a consultant and I've also seen the blatant ripping off of hundreds of thousands of dollars (and lines of code) of COBOL programs from one established company to a startup. The geniuses didn't even rip out the comment lines that stated who wrote the programs and when and for whom.

I know you still 'get me' though. L8R.

That’s funny. We won a huge lawsuit against a (french) competitor. Their programs had our comments, and their electrical and mechanical drawings had our company name on them.
