[Atrocities]

I remember when one of my former companies top programmers became so dissolutioned with the company that he simply walked in the middle of a high priority project and since he was senior programmer on the project he was the only one who knew the details of the program. Since the company had already invested several million into the project and didn't want to start over so they had to make arrangements to have him come back to work for them to finish the project. They paid him six times his wage as a consultant for his expertise. His contract gave him total control and he had more authority than his former boss and that alone made his day.

Good luck with the reverse engineering thing. It didn't work out well for my former company but I do hope it works out for yours.
