What complete nonsense. Jelsoft may take the idea (since it's obviously popular) but they don't use the code.

Funnily enough, the only mod with over 2000 installs is not included, but if it ever were, I would not be knocking on their door looking for payment (nor I expect would any of the other people who have produced a similar thing over the various versions of vb ).
