Aldus sold Freehand (Which it licensed from Altsys) to Macromedia before Adobe bought Aldus. Then the Borg, I mean Adobe, bought Macromedia. Ahh the good old incestous days of Mac Software :-) <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aldus> Aside: The very first piece of Mac software I ever owned (which was purchased before I owned a Mac!) was Silicon Beach's SuperPaint, for which I have an inordinately soft spot in my heart. -- Bruce Johnson "Wherever you go, there you are" B.
