I understand that, but only because I've been in a simular situation. Took over a project, then only to have my job get in the way. Unfortunately, the timeliness of the statement in regards to Yvonn's announcement may scare some folks... I fully realize that Voyager has had, and is continuing to have, more development than any other Amiga browser! I have more than several beta's on this Amiga ;o) Thanks to the hard work at Vapor... I have been greatly satisfied with all of my Vapor products, well... Saving for MetalWeb...

I haven't seen the sources, but I will download AWeb's sources to have a look see.

Dude, that would ROCK! I would love to see those tests, just for the novelty of it! Please, don't think I was making any accusations.

I swear, I wasn't calling anyone lazy! And the finger thing, was in reference to the PHP call to the '.plan' of a particular coder (i.e. the finger). You talked me into looking, but I'm not a great C programmer.

But trust me, they do suck. Again, I state that my most used browser is Voyager. I am registered too. ;o) I swear I wasn't slamming you guys.

Now, I honestly meant a public statement on vapor.com ;o) for those who don't live on the list ;o) Well, sulk around on the list.. Whatever ;) -- -- Regards, Dave "Targhan" C.
