This discussion sure is interesting, but it currently has nothing to do with Windows. Since the first article was cross posted to the MSWin and OS/2 groups, all the replies have been also. I would sure appreciate it if each of us edited the Followup-To or the Newsgroups lines, so that as a discussion veered off track, people in groups that are no longer appropriate don't need to skip those messages. This (my) posting is of course quite selfish. I have a limited time each day to read mail, so I try to be selective. Since I work on Windows, I read comp.windows.ms to see what kinds of problems people have, and their suggested improvements for the product. (And no, I unfortunately _don't_ have time to do tech-support by mail for thousands of developers. Wish I did....) I am not interested in IBMs alleged poor customer support. If I _did_ want that kind of information, I would read one of the OS/2 groups. Note that this isn't a flame, just a gentle reminder. If I wanted to flame, I'd use lots of obsc*ne words with 1 l*tter removed, to prove that I'm lit*rate. :-) -- Don Corbitt, donc@microsoft.uucp, Windows developer. Mail flames, post apologies. I'm not the net.police, does it pay well? (and finally) "Cross posting is almost always inappropriate."
