CTB will be built in System 7.0, so eventually *everyone* will use it. When Microphone and White Knight go through their next upgrade, they'd be extremely foolish not to implement CTB. I've only used MultiXfer twice, but I think you should do it. I personally would prefer any program that did support CTB. Hopefully, people will write more CTB tools and put them out as either freeware or shareware. I would *die* for a freeware CTB tool for TCP/IP implementing telnet, finger, and ftp. There is a company that makes one, but they charge mucho bucks for it (more than I think it is worth, IMHO). Correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe Hermes (the BBS software) also uses CTB. MacTerminal 3.0 also supports this. But I've yet to see anyone outside of Apple that has this program. +-------------------------------+---------------------------------------+ | Edward J.
