Here we see again how HP/Apollo manages to infuriate its customers by telling us _they_ know better what we should and we should not do. ("No, you don't want to write assembler code - Use Pascal and/or C!"). They have a quite stable product which their customers ask them to _sell_ (as a supported product) for _money_ (That's what a company is supposed to make, right ? ;-) and they mess it up. Anybody know a company as unfit for the market place? bye, mike Michael K.
