Etc. Etc. Yep, and mostly irrelevant to the discussion at hand. At least the discussion I was having. >THE PROGRAMMER. > >Who gives a rat's rear end how he put together his program Which is a problem as far as I'm concerned, but apparently I'm the only one. I can live with that, since I feel that I'm at least partially right. It's completely uninteresting what the consumer wants regarding this issue, because we're not talking about abolishing the notion of opening books for the commercial market or anywhere else. That idea would indeed be ridiculous. There'll always be software available for the ordinary consumer, which would includes the strongest possible programs. Over _and_ out for now. Best wishes...
