Ah, but who is it installed by? If you have one system in house that you're responsible for, and use on a daily basis that's one thing. If you have systems all over the world that have to be maintained by customers that's a whole different ball game. > I'd rather a > package that was difficult to install and simple to use over one that > that was simple to install and difficult to use. I have not noticed any significant difference between the functionality and convenience of the current Merge and VP/ix products. The Merge product maybe has an edge on ease of use if you want something that will be stuck in shell scripts, because so much is settable by command-line switches. For power DOS users, I have no idea. -- Peter da Silva. `-_-' +1 713 274 5180.
