Gale! <grin> No…*I'm* sorry if it appeared to you that I took umberage!<grin> That last was *supposed* to have been in the nature of a "playful reposte." Alas, my inferior communications skills strike again… Believe me Gale, if I'm ever even slightly upset with ya, you can rest assured that you will know it!<grin> Also, keeping my own mindset in view here, I certainly am not going to be the first person to jump down somebody's throat because they espouse a viewpoint about an ACAD-related issue. I'm extremely aware that different people bring different viewpoints to a problem, and 90% of the time people's interpersonal misunderstandings stem in large part from at least one person's inability or unwillingness to see the same problem from another's perspective. Of course, that's just my opinion. I usually try to take what I believe to be the most constructive course in such situations – continue dialog in hopes of having both/all parties see the problem from all (known) angles. Then, hopefully, a method of addressing the problem can be found that meets the needs of everyone concerned. I certainly have no cause to be upset with you. Hopefully, the convers also applies. I am currently unaware of your SCO UNIX/XENIX concerns, but that area interests me. Could you give me a brief rundown of what your "bone of contention" with Adesk/SCO is? We may well find ourselves on common ground… Regards, Mark <the long-winded not-TM<grin>> Burns – TKLP Inc.
