Hi Chad Is this the latest version of documentation: http://rainbow.polytech.unice.fr/~ketan/files/Actor_Docs_for_Users_In_Progress.pdf If so, I find many actors description ambiguous or not available. It will surely be useful if some example for unconventional actors' usage is provided. As for version: the about dialog says this: beta1 May 2006 However, last I heard from one of the developers that this dialog was not updated with version and does not show correct version. Regards Ketan
