Does this mean I'll see no problem or >is Lotus after the whole programme? My reading of the articles in the Wall Street Journal on the recent ruling suggests that the only change in Quattro Pro that will occur in response is deletion of the 1-2-3 menu structure. Of course that could cause problems for some macros that rely on this structure. A Borland rep was quoted as saying something like "the only change in our product is deletion of an obsolete piece of technology used by fewer than 10% of established customers" (or words to that effect). Next upgrade you won't have to delete the 1-2-3 menus yourself!
