Yeah, that's my ticket. And that's not the original title. When they changed the title of it, I gave up any hope. (And I stopped contributing anything to Tango, other than bugfixes). And that ridiculous forum discussion, where they say about how Phobos changed the license without consulting them -- 100% of the public discussion about the license happened on the newsgroup. _______________________________________________ phobos mailing list [email protected] http://lists.puremagic.com/mailman/listinfo/phobos
