Ok, sounds like this is going exactly where I hoped it would not. I was reluctant to make the comments and probably should have kept my mouth shut. I did not intend to start a flame thread on this topic. I was simply trying to get a handle on the best approach to take, not start a word war. Sure things have changed, but only in the tools available to do the same thing. Logic is logic, technique is technique no matter what you want to call it. Eveyone has their own way of doing things, some work better than others and some not at all. Whatever RIT wants to do with the program is their business and theirs alone. Sorry to muddy the water on this, I will keep quite. -- Best regards, Kyle mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] ________________________________________________________ Current beta is 4.0.0.17 | 'Using TBBETA' information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html
