Hello Mark, It is for these reasons mentioned above that I suggested on Rebel's home page that the "RATING" for their program be made a "variable" that the owner/operator can enter himself/herself. That way if you believe the SSDF then you can enter the SSDF rating into your copy at home at be very happy with what it says. :>) If you believe someone else's or have your own opinion you can install that ! Why not make everyone happy with the rating ? As Einstein once said "It's all relative anyway". :>) Jim Walker
