You might need to send the new word to Mr. Bush ;o) I'll have to store that tidbit of info away for permanant use. I've long since set up my Voyager-MUI settings to that, maybe it's time to adjust my Global settings too. > I use GTK GUIs on Linux occasionally and Win32 regularly, and I must > say they're slow as hell, and we're talking >800MHz CPUs here and > 64MB graphics cards.

I've used several systems myself... My Amiga is only an 040/28 with a Voodoo3, and MUI is fairly quick (if I could learn to knock off some of the bitmaps 8-) ) > You don't need either.

I couldn't snip the above, as someone else may read this post first (hey, it's good info). I suspect from what I've read that Joerg wasn't being lazy--he just became panic-arated :) Anyway, I'll avoid both *hacks*. And, thanks for the 'official' word. -- -- Regards, Dave "Targhan" C.
