Speaking for myself Christophe I do not think you need to worry. To me there is
only one Gambit Program and it is your Tiger ! It is the most interesting
program to come along in a long while. Roarrrrrrrrrr umphhh umphhh.

New Subject:   I think many of us _buyers_ of programs are getting tired of the
lawsuit stuff and I am beggining to loose respect for all parties concerned in
the suit lidigation. I cannot understand why lawyers would permit a client to
carry on in this manner on this or any forum. What can be gained from it ? The
downside is clear !

Respectfully, Thanks
Wayne
