I'll look at it. Of course, I doubt the company would license it. I did a fast look and for a "Named User" (my personal copy) for Linux, the cost is $299.00 . Which makes it fairly expensive for me to buy for myself. The plus is that I can use it on multiple PCs, so long as only I use it and on one PC at a time. Which makes it perfect to be my personal editor, and keep it on a single flash drive which I take around with me. -- John McKown Systems Engineer IV IT Administrative Services Group HealthMarkets(r) 9151 Boulevard 26 * N.
