Actually I take my last message back.

The system does work. However it has to install 12 (count them!).dll's on
your system to do this, all in the WINNT directory, and you have to allow
them to do this, it does not take place automatically. The process took
about 2 minutes on my Windows Professional 2000 system.

It would certainly take longer than 5 mins to reverse engeineer the dll's
although it could be done :>)

The uninstall process took even longer, and i had to reboot.

The system works but would appear to have a very limited application.
Certainly no casual browser would go through all the hoops required, but if
you were selling high quality images then it might have a place, however in
this case i think it would still be easier just to warter mark them.

I am still trying to think of a place where it would have a practical
application. Any ideas anyone?
