I agree with you 100% Jonathan. I have been thinking about writing something simular thanks for saving me the time. I bought DC Destop and while the individual programs are all very nice they just aren't configurable enough and I find my self having to reference the manual too often. The situation is just bad enough that while I haven't written them off I will be hesitant to buy anything else from them. > > -Jonathan the verbose > ********************************************************************** > Jonathan Whitcomb UUCP: > Alcatel Network Systems, Raleigh, NC Delphi: JBWHIT > -- Kenneth Kron kron@netcom.COM
