Although I am a non-native speaker of English - German at that! - I tend to give non-native writers/readers/speakers a lot of leeway, probably even as much as I give to native speakers. Maxim and RITLabs aren't Bristish, Manx, South African, Australian, Irish, or US American. No idea if they have professional PR assistance. Hence, my interpretation is usually in their favour. > This also locks me in to the operating system as AutoCAD cannot run > on anything else reliably. I know what you mean but that has nothing to do with what kind of payment model a company chooses unless the enforce current licence specs in most licence documents - in which case the user has no say at all of when, how, where to use what he [the user] thinks of as 'his'. BTW, TB does support and use the standards for e-mail and contacts. I've successfully used these standards to exchange data between TB and other programs, from contacts [TB<->Palm; TB<->Outlook etc.] to mail messages. -- Dierk Haasis [DH² Publishing] The Bat 4.2.36.1 on Windows XP 5.1 2600 Service Pack 2 Chat info upon request Die Zeit wird kommen, wo unsere Nachkommen sich wundern, da wir so offenbare Dinge nicht gewusst haben.
