The restriction is that they should not be made by people with a financial interest in the software. The usual procedure when discussing commercial software is to do as you did, i.e., end with a disclaimer that the poster has no commercial interest in the software. This, of course, works on the honor system, but if repeated abuse is discovered steps can be taken to terminate a site's network access. -- Sincerely, Dave Kristofferson GenBank Manager kristoff@genbank.bio.net
