  Agreed, Nantucket hasnt blown it in the sense that the company will probably
remain solvent. However, from the standpoint that A-T was hemorraging and that
the pickings were ripe for the other guys, they have certainly "blown" it
in that many customers are not happy with 5.0 and I doubt if it will them many
new ones. "Hey guys, lookit this slick new software, its harder to user and
buggier than the old one."

   Actually, we've all blown it in that Fox continually states that they
are NOT offering a compiler, just the ability to create .exe files. I
say if it walks like a duck and sounds like a duck ....
