No. I don't understand why you need one. ;) At least Windwos > does it without giving any advantage, thus no proof either. it was very useful when it worked. I could directly compare some "similar" .pdf files (when I was writing some document in TeX) by overlapping one semi-transparent window on top of another. Or I could compare two gnuplot plots by dragging them on top of each other. > 2. Do you have codes which use event synthesis or replay? > A.

No. I'm not a mouse man. best regards -- Janek Kozicki http://janek.kozicki.pl/ | --- -- Sawfish ML
