I won't say it rules it out entirely, but I have never taken such a program ahead of a shareware program that does not have htese features. I could go into my reasoning, but it might tendf towards the slanderous, so I won't. I have been uniformly happy with the programs I have obtained through tis filtre, and would be happy to recommend them to others via private mail. -- John Collier Email: Collier@HPS.unimelb.edu.au HPS -- University of Melbourne jcollier@ariel.ucs.unimelb.edu Parkville, Victoria, AUSTRALIA 3052 Fax: 61+3 344 7959
