The operative word being free? As a programmer, I often find myself informing people about why software shouldn't be free. But that is a different issue. > How often did you have to revert to an older TB! version after a new one > was release with broken features? Since I only use the beta's as they come along, I can't say about release versions. Once in the past few years for a beta, that I remember. >> He could at least move up to ThBd 3+.

Inform yourself maybe beforehand. I am willing for you to tell me how to get ThBd to do the formatting feat I mentioned above. >> If The Bat is buggy for you, that doesn't mean it is for me, which it isn't. >> And not for most users, I suspect, >> which is why it continues to prosper when others have not.

Of course you could argue - Microsoft does that > so why not RitLabs - does that make it better? I did notice reports of problems and I see Rit fixing the ones it can duplicate. It is possible to fix a problem that you can't duplicate sometimes, which puts programmers ahead of auto mechanics who will tell you to bring the car back when the knock they can't hear today returns. -- Gleason Using The Bat 4.1.14.2 (RC2) on Windows XP 5.1 Build 2600 ________________________________________________________ Current beta is 4.1.14.2 | 'Using TBBETA' information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html
