Yes, a lot of Becky functionality is provided through it's wonderful plugin API. There are some other problems as well. I have documented them and discussed them with various Becky communities online. "Any users that require anything more than very basic plugin API can forget about TB." You see, I can say similar things of TB, but that's not what this was about. This was about a recommendation to throw Becky into the mix being discussed; PocoMail and TB. Similarly, I use UltraEdit, but can most certainly spare the space in my memory to recommend close runners up, like EditPlus and CrimsonEditor. The same goes for many topics when people are seeking recommendations. Remember though, I use TB. Yes, TB. And more than adequately licensed. -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] ________________________________________________ Current version is 2.02.3 CE | "Using TBUDL" information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html
