James,

I love the Fox and couldn't agree with you more in your arguments for Upward/Downward Diagonal. However, is VB and VC++ not an "American" language too? If so, why is the Fox always the odd one out. As I've noted in previous messages, the former two (in addition to MapObjects) uses reverse logic and their patterns slope in the opposite direction to the Fox. Why?

Mike.
