I have no problem with commercial software, as long as there is a dedicated author, who has motivation and knowledge to implement what I'm interested in. Tony Tebby was such an author. Without Tony Tebby, "open source" became a very practical requirement for me, not a principle. My point of view was _major_ native hardware support. An SD/MMC driver is not _that_ major, maybe it could be written without resorting to existing free code. But in the end we're better off if it's free and we don't have to deal with royalties or wait for registrar permission on code changes. It makes life easier. All the best Peter _______________________________________________ QL-Users Mailing List http://www.q-v-d.demon.co.uk/smsqe.htm
