Oh dear ;-) No-one writes worse applications than Acorn (dunno why - I love
the rest of their stuff...)  The ANT suite is pretty good - sure, it's not
prefect for eveybody and still a couple of bugs that can piss you off, but
they *are* developing it.  It seems there was a large pause of development
until 3 weeks ago - thyen suddenly it all started moving again, I'd
imagine it would be they needed to meet a deadine for the NCs.

I'd try the ANT suite - I doubt you'll get anything better on the Acorn...

Regards,

aid
