However, the initial step-by-step       process has changed *dramatically*.               MF>> I obviously leave it up to your good judgement as to what you do with        MF>> your "PROS and CONS" chart on your site.               AA> Maybe I can simply create a link to the CONS for 359.1 to point        AA> to a subpage or something.              Why ??               AA> Meanwhile, the main table could be populated with pending CONS for the        AA> latest version?              Out of the 17 "CONS", there's now only 4 which are still valid and I can think       of at least one addition to the "PROS" :-)              Regards,       Martin       --- WinPoint 398.2        * Origin: WinPoint Test Rig - UK - (2:280/464.27)       SEEN-BY: 1/123 15/0 30/0 90/1 103/705 105/81 106/201 120/340 123/131       SEEN-BY: 124/5016 129/305 330 331 153/757 7715 154/10 203/0 218/700       SEEN-BY: 221/0 1 6 226/30 227/114 229/110 206 307 317 400 424 426       SEEN-BY: 229/428 664 700 240/1120 5832 266/512 280/464 5003 282/464       SEEN-BY: 282/1038 292/854 8125 301/0 1 101 113 310/31 317/3 320/219       SEEN-BY: 322/757 335/364 341/66 234 342/200 396/45 423/120 460/58       SEEN-BY: 633/280 712/848 770/1 920/1 2452/250 5058/104       PATH: 280/464 301/1 229/426           |
