Hi Mattijsen,

The parts that concern him can not be reused anyway.

I went to ask him about it yesterday whilst I was at
his facility.  He had left for a week long fishing
trip.

If I code something for somebody, I will probably do
the coding on my own dime from now on, unless they
specifically contract me for it.

Thank you for the help!
