Oscar;

You probably fall into one of the following categories;

A:    Your hard drive completely crashed, and you have no floppy, tape,
or CD backup, and never printed the code out.

B:    You are trying to copy someone's program out of their product.

Although it is not possible to tell, you are most likely in the latter
category.  Statistically speaking, that is.  It is an established fact
that many of the contributors on the list make their entire living by
writing software, and that any form of software theft is quite literally
like stealing cash from us.  In light of this fact, it would probably be
most wise to look somewhere else for this service.
