Clumsy cluttered screens, not following normal window inside window standards, ugly board, etc. etc. I actually prefered Winboard but found it lacking in powerfeatures like seekgraph and notify lists But I'm looking forward to someone giving me a link to Freak. ( Perhaps I will do a FTP search for it, but it will have to wait for me moving to a new PC. ) Torstein
