I can relate to the costs of being independent. Although some of the features of ZS are great time savers watching Jon Lebensold on NetBeans has me wondering if that isn't a good cost saving alternative on a Mac. BTW, the latest version of ZS does utilize the latest version of Eclipse which is much faster. But then a good IDE is somewhat of a tradeoff, between speed and features. ron -- ================= Ron Dyck [email protected] www.webbtech.net =================
