Yes. I was very unhappy with Sprint (I'm not a FWII user). However, they did specifically say that they had bought the rights to FWII. They have the potential to make a better WP program, but I am not sure they will bother... Austin Ziegler BTW does anyone know the format for the *.CHR files in TP? I want to make my own fonts. austin@bucsf.bu.edu
