May be you forgot about the zillions of threads here, when people posted games in whatever GUIs, which were simply flawed by user setups. However, if you don't like WB for whatever reason no one forces you to use it, but talking bad about something you don't know is simply weird. Regards, Guenther > >Regards >Dave
