The way I generally put it is: "if you contribute your improvements back to the project then they will be maintained as a matter of course. If not, then you'll have to re-adapt them to each new release that you wish to advantage of. Which do you prefer?". I have yet to see a client prefer the latter. -- Rod www.sunsetsystems.com ------------------------ Yahoo! Groups Sponsor --------------------~--> Home is just a click away.
