Right! As AnMon doesn't support analysis, the adapter should do the emulation. I
think that the latest version of the WB adapter does a much better job of it
than the previous ones.  Dieter, I believe that the asterisk (I wish to heaven
it was Asterix the Gaul, because that would mean partytime here on CCC :)) is
explained in the WB adapter + helpfiles you can download at Frank Q's site.

BTW, Yace is doing fine in my CA testing :)
