At Last You declare this fact.
Richard, It's made no change, the tkn files is secure enough, at least on my area.
LBB is useful, no doubt, yesterday I got a great help from (endless) LBB error messages.
I Thank you very much.

It's not 'new information'. The LBB Help file says this: "You can alternatively load a .TKN file created by Liberty BASIC. This can be very useful if you have deleted or mislaid a program, but still have a TKN file generated from it. Note that you must know the original user's Name and LB Password; it is not possible to load a TKN file created by Just BASIC or an unregistered copy of Liberty BASIC."
Going back more than a year, the list of changes in LBB v2.30 stated: "A bug in the TKN decoder, causing very long lines to be garbled, is fixed".

LBB hasn't compromised the security of TKN files, since it only allows you to decode them if you know the User Name and Password with which they were created (in other words, you can only decode a TKN which you created yourself).
The real security breach occurred long before LBB even existed, when somebody (not me!) published online a program to decode TKN files without knowing that information. This allowed commercial programs created using Liberty BASIC to be reverse-engineered.

That's why I was pleased to discover that LBB could reveal my TKNs. I had some from years back, for which the LB source had been lost. I was not aware of any other 'dodgy' methods.

It's extremely kind of you to say so, but sadly it is not a view universally shared. Indeed there is at least one member of this forum who not only would like LBB to have a short life, they would like me to have a short life too!
Never before have I encountered such a degree of personal animosity. I will continue to try to ignore it, but it isn't always easy.

Very sad (and pathetic, shame on those responsible)! LB has failed due to very slow development progress and unfulfilled promises. It is still one of the easiest languages to build windows applications but has too many faults and LBB has bought dramatic improvements quickly. Time is of the essence for us oldies, who do not have too many years left to continue waiting on promises which do not materialise.
Iv'e sent you a PM.
