Just to set the record a little more straight, I think you mean to be flaming *me*, not Tom. :-) Poor Tom's name should have been trimmed out of the attributions above, because none of the text is his. But all I was really trying to say is that you can't take the attitude that Bazaar doesn't work, just because something you want doesn't already exist as open software. If there's a niche out there that needs to be filled, its up to the interested parties to make it happen. -- T.E.D. -----------== Posted via Deja News, The Discussion Network ==---------- http://www.dejanews.com/ Search, Read, Discuss, or Start Your Own
