*chuckle*

You'll get no argument from me about that. The situation here is a tad more ..ehrr.. 'interesting' than that. <g>

I hate having to work with the old stuff candidly. It's a pain. Still, sometimes we don't have a choice.

The funny thing here is that in an entirely unrelated incident today a friend called me and asked if I still had a copy of FOXPLUS.EXE 2.10!! "Ehhrr.. No, not right off hand" I said. <g> He's going to borrow a copy so he can make the mods for the client. Go figure....
Best,


DD
