I could supply here a pretty long list of *essential* features that it doesn't
support, but I won't. Go and read RFCs. These are in plain English. It ought to
be even much simplier a reading for you then for me.

Actually, right now I've sometimes got a reverse feeling... that's why I'm still
using Pegasus.

Nope, I do not. Have you been subscribed to PM-WIN? Just for example:
here, on this list, only few of us have *ever* read RFCs (well, Steve, Marck,
myself, have I forgotten anybody?). On PM-WIN, at least 20 guys are much at
home when dealing with standards. That is, they are a bit ... err... more
educated, that's what I wanted to say. No personal offence, please, since I've
counted myself this time on TBUDL rather then on PM-WIN;-)

in other words, they tried to tell you how all this is supposed to work judging by
the standards;-) Now try to look at it from their point of view: the userbase of
Pegasus is *way* larger as of now, and they are forced to answer the same
(usually stupid, like "why it doesn't work like in LookOut?") questions over and
over again. BTW: the reasonable wishes are implemented "on the fly"...
