No biggs .. on re-read it did sound like that was directed to you and it
really wasn't. It just surprises me that someone like uv/ud wouldn't have
same since they are trying to be replacements/covers for all flavors. And i
would think that anyone running from 'Tiger Logic' (just another group of
sales people selling something they don't make?) would have found on or
created one and make it available.
If we decide to go the 'create one' way we will make it available.
Thanks again ..
Just a cranky old guy

Should any political party attempt to abolish social security, unemployment
insurance, and eliminate labor laws and farm programs, you would not hear of
that party again in our political history. There is a tiny splinter group,
of course, that believes you can do these things. Among them are a few
Texas oil millionaires, and an occasional politician or business man from
other areas. Their number is negligible and they are stupid. --President
Dwight D. Eisenhower, 1954 (source: Eisenhower Presidential Papers,
