Not around here, that I have seen. I am a self-taught (mostly) dbase III+ user, and a novice at that, so I am glad to have someone on board who knows what they're talking about (*despite* an obvious and expected bias towards your A-T product ;-). You have a good attitude, keep it up. -- Disclaimer: My opinion means | 'If you only knew how much I was holding nothing, but His means | back, you would commend me' everything. | - Charles Spurgeon, 19th century danielg@uncmed.med.unc.edu | evangelist (on humor in preaching)
