You have to reboot the system to install a new DA. This is bad. Actually, neither of these statements is true if you have MultiDesk from CodeHead Software.

Your other points about DA limitations (omitted) were well made, and easy to agree with. -- Mark T. O'Bryan Internet: obryan@gumby.cc.wmich.edu Western Michigan University Kalamazoo, MI 49008
