I sense a bit of hostility here. I actually HAVE chacked write-ups reviews and Star's own stuff and there are always veiled references to Motif. I believe at one time Motif was a requirement. If it's not anymore they should drop all references. I had forgotten why I didn't ever try it until somehting on their web site brought up a reference to Motif again and I remembered. I still think everyones focusing on a single noodle and not the whole soup... -Mike Michael Smith wrote: > > > > > > The other issue here is the complicating factor.
