Why would you want to buy : from a company that won't tell you how to USE their product? : I'm afraid you misinterrpeted (sp?) my comments. Buying a product of any sort is an individual decision. However, I have seen many companies (persons) buy products with out a clue as to how they worked. Their mere purpose was to buy a functioning black box, have you. For instance, most people don't know, or care, how a microwave oven works. They have more immediate priorities. My suggestion is to act ina more professional manner. Don't bad mouth someone, just cause they won't play your game. -- Jesus Monroy Jr jmonroy@netcom.com Zebra Research /386BSD/device-drivers /fd /qic /clock /documentation ___________________________________________________________________________
