So sad to see you limit yourself like that. The more you know the farther you go. No truer words... <<Aha, could you name a few? The star-author is around here, and probably listening ...

No, thanks, I never use MS software (except sometimes MASM under IBM-DOS 2000 inside SunPCi3, for educational purposes). And as for the rest: I didn't indent to offend you. But your initial statements have been - to say the minimum - incomplete. That's - however - no reason, to cry me down in that manner.
