Jud: I have to agree with you: TCL 2.0 seems a million miles off, especially when you have real work to do today. I hear what you're saying about overriding the TCL instead of modifying it, but that's far from an ideal solution for me. It's the classic TCL catch-22: when a new version comes out, you either have to copy your mods into the new TCL, or copy the new TCL into your mods. Some of the TCL methods (especially initializations) are REALLY BIG, which makes it a royal pain when you just want to patch one line in the middle of it. Suggestion to Symantec: If the TCL can't be all things to all people, at least break it up into more methods so I can overide it more easily. This would be especially useful in initializations; I've got several patches in CDLOGDialog::IDLOGDialog() alone. Please implement the IClassNameX() methods to virtual in the next release. These are the ones I most often need to override, and I can't if they're not virtual. David
