I realize the tool was written by Berkeley System Design, | but that's a lame excuse for doing nothing. +--------------- It's not a very lame excuse at all when you consider that the "un-crippled" version of the tool is a commercial product yclept Stepping Out II. I don't think Berkeley Systems Design would allow Apple to continue distributing CloseView if Apple decided to turn it into their own version of B.S.D.'s commercial version.... ++Brandon -- Brandon S.
