How would you know they wouldn't support it? How could you possibly know this? People on this list make assertions like this all the time and I find them as preposterous as arithmetic errors. These discussions have a definite bias towards: Don't try to change anything, nobody will join your parade. I'd love to see a (voluntary of course) moratorium on such comments unless they're backed by something plausible. In a case like this I couldn't even imagine what that would be but hey try me I'm open-minded. But for example even surveys would be suspect unless highly focused because vendors et al don't really know what they want vis a vis this issue other than to jump on a bandwagon they heard is working for others. -- -Barry Shein The World | [email protected] | http://www.TheWorld.com Purveyors to the Trade | Voice: 800-THE-WRLD | Dial-Up: US, PR, Canada Software Tool & Die | Public Access Internet | SINCE 1989 *oo*
