Of course I would like an even better engine to satisfy my sadomasochistic tendences, but what I was trying to say in the beginning -later was different- is that strenght improvement tends to be less importants and the frills more and more. Frills and differences in the presentation of them; that's the reason I have bought from you some programs to begin with, so give me a break Bert or you are going to lose a customer (joke of course..:-)) Fernando
