Another suggestion: since it appears that any owner of a NeXT computer get a licence for the entire Operating system (Extensions included), why NeXT couldn tset up a ftp server to broadcast such Extensions , thus giving users a chance to upload such files over the net ? [ie, if NeXT cantdo such operation,is it possible for a couple of sites to do such thing ? cs.orst.edu and *.purdue.edu for instance] May be silly questions after all ! :) But we all know that NeXT listen all suggestion from users, so i am quite confident :-) [ Pegasus ] French exchange Student pegasus@calvin.cs.mcgill.ca Master in Computer Sc. a New NeXT's user
