    It's always hard to decide what to include, but I stripped it down almost all code written by us (e.g. no third-party libraries except for the odd header), for everything, and got this:

Question: How do you feel about people pirating REAPER? I'm curious because I'm going to buy a liscence soon. I was wondering what your opinion was with people publishing keygens for reaper? Came across my mind the other night when I saw my trial evaluation time was up. Wanted to ask you personally.

    afaik keygens still require a hacked reaper.exe, thankfully. nobody serious wants to be running modified executables. Obviously I disapprove. :)

Question: CoolSB: For .nPage = rectheight / charheight on large text files (~40K lines) the thumb gets way too small. Is there a trick to scale it a little bit for certain ranges? Maybe it would be a good idea to have the implementation with minimum thumb height at about the cursor height? Thanks
