Unfortunately your two examples again illustrate the problems of chasing up/upgrading old software. QLiberator had two authors and one, whom I believe has the only copies of the code, has "disappeared". (I put that in inverted commas as we amateur genealogists have means of tracing people whether dead or alive) There is an upgraded version of EasyPtr and very good it is too. The problem is that Albin Hessler is the author and Marcel the upgrader for his own use. Everyone wants to respect copyright in this case, but no one knows what the legal position is. Hence the upgrade cannot be distributed. Best wishes, Geoff Wicks _______________________________________________ QL-Users Mailing List http://www.quanta.org.uk/mailing.htm
