Compromise seems just like the kind of thing marketing or legal would want to do. The problem is that _we_ cannot compromise because one cannot write a "half-way there" driver. It's a technical impossibility. Now, if Bill Paul, Jonathan Lemon or whoever can come up with a "compromise" that would work, fine. But otherwise, and I think otherwise is likely, please explain the above to this person. -- Daniel C.
