They can do with it as they wish. If you are unhappy with their product, then don't use it. Most corporation are primarily interested in profits. Nothing wrong with that. I like making money, as I assume you do. Obviously they have weight the cost of producing FSBD compatible products and concluded that it would not be profitable to do so. Unless you could produce enough evidence to show them otherwise, I fear that you are simply beating a dead horse here. -- Gerard Seibert gerard@seibercom.net "The very powerful and the very stupid have one thing in common.
