Give me a hint please It's still not clear if that's the case. Still there's not enough material to tell anything near the truth. Apart from supporting a great programmer (Fabien) and his competition with the grand commercials, to me there's issues like different styles. Comp-comp strenght is far from the only issue to me, and I'm not one of those who wants everything for free. But if all I wanted, disregrading style etc., was an extremely strong engine for free, Toga would be the first I thought of as for now. Regards Henrik
