If it does not run on a Tandy 1000; its crap.              BP> its just harder for bug reporters to show where X, Y, Z is in precompild       BP> problems, why not disclose it, to make more intrested in helping make it wo       BP> better ?, thats how i see it, you dont want to shoot your self in foots if        BP> know you well ?              D'Bridge is a closed-sourced product that is trusted 100% to power the entire        ZC operation of now two Fido zones. There is a good reason why.              Trust me, the vast majority of users have no problems reporting bugs and you       would be hard-pressed to compare the level of tech support I provide with that       of any open-source mailer or tosser today.              For example... you can pick up the phone and call me, anytime, 24/7, if you        feel that there is a show-stopper bug in my software. And I will fix it. I        will not tell you to "compile it yourself" because for me that sort of answer        is the same as "GFY"... I'm sure you know what that means.              I never said open-source software is crap, but what is, is the mentality        of some of the users and end-user direct support is almost nonexistant.              Nick              --- Renegade vY2Ka2        * Origin: Joey, do you like movies about gladiators?
