True. Actually it just shares the "serial communications" portion of the old A-Talk Plus. The current beta version also provides support for WSI satellite and weather images, besides Accu-Weather. One reason we decided to provide WSI support is that WSI can be accessed also from Europe (UK and Holland, for example), and the images will be saved in PAL IFF in that case. We are still contracting for the distribution rights, and I hope things will be cleared up by the time of the NAB (National Association of Broadcasters) Conference in Las Vegas, April 9-12. -- Marco Papa -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= uucp:...!pollux!papa BIX:papa ARPAnet:pollux!papa@oberon.usc.edu "There's Alpha, Beta, Gamma and Diga!" -- Leo 'Bols Ewhac' Schwab -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
