There is the XBRA-method for stealing vectors; it should ALLWAYS be used because it allows to detect all programs in the chain, so one can find viruses and others of that kind. In my opinion, the only cause not to use it is given in a prophylactic; so, if a program does nothing in that way, it should use XBRA. U.Kuehn
