thanks for that explanation. I am confessing my ignorance to all things C: If this has been around 'forever', why is there being made such a 'big deal' about MetalC? What exactly is the difference? Ed, what you describe doesn't really sound like any Beta product that I am familiar with. They do use SMPE (how well is another question), and I never really had to relink anything (other than my own exits). To be fair to them, this wasn't really their bug, it was IBMs. As for: >I can only remember it was from Europe and had a dickens of a time because >their doc was in A4 >(page size) format and it was hell getting it converted to the US size. Forgive me for saying that, but do you think the rest of the world likes to be forced to use some strange format that doesn't fit any paper we have available? It is actually nice for a change to speak my own language with them. :-) Regards, Barbara Nitz -- Sensationsangebot verlängert: GMX FreeDSL - Telefonanschluss + DSL für nur 16,37 Euro/mtl.!* http://dsl.gmx.de/?ac=OM.AD.PD003K1308T4569a ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html
