Ron, Hear, hear!
Bill -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of ronald ferguson Sent: Monday, August 27, 2007 8:46 PM To: [email protected] Subject: RE: [LegacyUG] Legacy v7 - Sources based on _Evidence_ by Mills Gail, Whilst have no feeling one way or the other about Legacy accomodating a format compatible with Mills's latest output, I would hope that it will maintain the flexibility that has characterised the program. One of the strengths of Legacy is the way in which it can be used to suit different countries, cultures and individual ways of working and in my opinion it would be most regrettable if this is sacrificed on the altar of standardisation. In particular I have no wish whatsoever to have to redo all my web pages because of a change in the format of sources, or anything else for that matter.
