Hi fantastic news and bravo to the team... now one more question regarding LC
server :

Will LC server OS be able to open a protected stack like ZYGODACT which is
made to help authentification at sites or to sell softwares, and obviously,
that is protected...?

If not, will there be a commercial LC server version that can do that?

What I clearly understood is that , to make and update such a protected
stack one would require of course a commercial version. That is clear.

I think the answer will be :: bad luck, you can't use protected stack with
the OS version, full point. But nice to clarify that point, thanks!

On the ground of it, personnaly, I was going to contribute to revIgniter
with a simplified hierarchical database based on stacks on a OS basis to
accompany the move and as a thank you to Ralph Bitter for his wonderful
work, but I wonder whether in the case of protection algorythms, there might
be a case for not releasing the algorythm public.

This would mean that LC server OS could not be used for dealing with
transactions that require some degree of privacy and control, or that each
user has to code some specific identification mechanism, OS in theory, but
not visible since on the server... which is some sort of half backed
position.

Also sub question : does that mean that all encrypting functions will not be
available on the server OS version??? (because otherwise one can devise a
specific protection scheme and deliver on a client server the OS server plus
specifically protected stacks encrypted by a propriatary which would be
against the OS principles, but realistically feasible since residing on a
closed server environment.... )

Well food for thoughts!!
