SISS sincerely hopes noone was positioned to monitor this Internet
traffic, because they would have picked up the full transfer.

There are plenty of alternatives to

a) sending our proprietary code over the unprotected Internet
b) disclosing our code to a third party

The answer to a) is: don't do it. Get MD/SOO permission to use a courier.

The answer to b) is:

o Isolated the bug(s) to the smallest amount necessary to reproduce
the error. According to the previous email traffic between these
two people, there were two compile-time bugs. The programmer can
be faulted for not using two orders of magnitude fewer lines for
demonstrating the error. A small fragment of code can be emailed.

o If the problem is compile-time, email the relevant C/C++
preprocessor output snippet. The comments by the programmer in the
email transfer state THE CODE DOESN'T COMPILE ANYWAY.

o Have the vendor deliver a "debug" version of their product. That
would be a good use for email. Sun Microsystems does that with a
C++ product for us, their customer. Email the results back.

o Have the vendor visit to troubleshoot.

o Requested a login via SecureID and Salomon's netblazer, supporting
28.8 PPP (TCP/IP for windowing connectivity) for the vendor. Let
them transfer in any tools they need to troubleshoot.
Short-term access.

o If it is truly necessary to transfer a large amount of code, such as
Informix working to convert a large Sybase app, then t
