The information provided specified Tango. I gave up on Tango shortly after I got suckered into buying it when Accel bought Omation. The product was a piece of junk when compared with Schema and Autotrax, so I used those two until I started using Orfcad. Then I bought P98 and re-situated myself to Protel. In any case, when an email says "Tango" I say "Tango". That Accel briefly changed the wrapper name to something other than what the product really was is of no merit to me. "A rose by any other name" applies, though a rose smells a lot prettier than the company I remember, or for that matter, the products they authored. aj
