The above disclaimer is written the way it is because I do NOT work for Commodore or Amiga or Commodore-Amiga, or anyone. I DID work for Commodore for almost 7 years until last February when I left to pursue software development. Commodore graciously allowed me continued access to UseNet to assist me and my colleague, and because I can [hopefully] contribute to this forum.

This I just found hard to believe - because I didn't see how you could have missed it when you were making your development system, or reading the manual... but obviously I made a mistake, you didn't read the manual, and apparently didn't look at what was on the disks. I must repeat though, that I did realize in advance that I may have been wrong. BUT, you ARE right in saying I should keep my "beliefs" about other people's practices (ethical or otherwise) to myself, and even though I apologized in advance, obviously I thought it was true, or I wouldn't have written it. So David, I hope you will accept my apology, and in the future, I will keep "personal" comments completely out of my messages, and only comment on the forum's subject matter - Amiga, Amiga software development, etc. >I have read and used alot of your tips in the past few months >with much success and appreciation.

This is, I'm afraid, a CULTURAL problem. Being BORN English, I know the word aristocratic well, and I have had problems with this in the past, but I assure you it is not intentional. People give me a hard time for having a large vocabulary. To them - "many long words". >Leave your personal oppions at home, brining to the forum, >only knowledge. > I guess your emotion took over your typing here! >One final thought.
