Leon, If the purrpose of maintaining this forum is to serve, then do it. You are the expert. When I posted the code frags you were silent. When I posted the accusation of lack of support you cried foul. But you still made no attempt to solve a problem with an explicit statment of it and an offending code frag. I finally wised-up and decided to check the lib source on the chance that it was not a compiler problem. The fix was amazingly simple to spot. Now since, once I decided to solve it myself, it took 20 minutes to solve, you should have been able to find it in 5 minutes. But I guess we "only 300" aren't worth the effort. Once again you contradict yourself. First you say its "full of bugs" then you say the number of calls for support have been relativley small. Second, I've posted the fix several times. You should look into it to see if it is correct. Then when somone like TOM says he is having floating point problems you could offer the fix or at least ask if he can check to see if it is the same problem. Thats what I refer to as support. Instead you took it as an opportunity to attack the technical ability of the people who put the M2S package together. Why? Because you are not so smart and you let someone con you into buying a bad product line? I suspect the quality of M2 had very little to do with the desire to acquire it. You beat them business-wise, I don't see why you need to try to impune their technical capabilities too. I think you should use this forum for support of the product you bought or request that it be shut down if you are not goin to offer support via this section of AmigaVend. After all, people come here because they think they will get support, not propoganda. wmc
