Hi :) I agree too but i think we have to agitate to get something done. So far the only response i got was an unhelpful RMS quote. I have a Gandhi one "First they ignore you, then they laugh at you, then they fight you, then you win.". Which means we have all 4 steps to work through but since some fairly major companies would benefit it might be possible to get through most of those steps quite fast.
Could TDF join http://montyprogram.com/commercial/ Would that help? TDF is not the type of organisation where we wait to see what "they" do. It's up to us to work out what we need and from who and go get it.

LO without a function Base won't fly. Either TDF recognizes this - by DOING something - or we have our answer.
