PLEASE let's not start considering the use of YET ANOTHER standard. A very
usable, efficient, widely available, and well supported standard now exists
in the form of FREEZOO. We should expend our energy supporting this product
rather than one which is VERY likely to suffer the same fate as PK*.

(For details on FREEZOO, I refer you to RDhesi's article posted in this
 group)
