Will you people ever stop this kind of "By the way" without quoting "My_Stupid_Opinion_ON/OFF". I suppose you are a "REGISTERED" user, and if so, find the "NO-NONSENSE LICENSE STATEMENT" on top of "your" BC++ package and READ it!!!! On "USING COMPILED PROGRAMS" it reads: "Programs that you write and compile using Borland's language compilers, and that contain any portion of Borland code, may be used, given away or sold without additional license or fees, as long as all copies of these programs bear a valid copyright notice. ..." My_Stupid_Opinion_ON. [...] By the way, Not unless you decided to "distribute" your product along with the Borland Compiler (BCX.EXE) or the Microsoft's (RC.EXE) or so on. My_Stupid_Opinion_OFF. Sorry for being ruthless, but it just upsets me to see people voicing out "By-The-Way-Facts" without thinking the consequence of the potential damage they could make. Rick
