Zucker) Organization: Allen-Bradley Company, Industrial Computer Division Lines: 10 This whole thing bothers me. People should not be making big bucks off programming languages, page description languages, etc. I hope GNU is listening. How about putting more effort into Ghostscript ?! I resent it when I have to pay Adobe $1000.00 to get Postscript in my printer, then I have to pay them again to get the matching screen fonts. I'm sure the situation won't be much different with Microsoft or Apple. Hurry GNU, Hurry.... -jaz
