Yes. :) Threads like this will hopefully keep people bothering others on mailinglists, they aren`t even subscribed to and without doing some LITTLE effort to contact them (BTW: I read that posting by chance) On the rockbox mailinglist i used a VALID email address - and on my win32 sdk page is a VALID email adress, too. It would have been no problem to have me contacted and told me personally "hey - you don`t adhere to the GPL - please fix that". Instead of that, i`ve been somewhat "pilloried" on this mailinglist - and that`s what made me angry and my answers somewhat "defiant". regards roland -- +++ GMX - Mail, Messaging & more http://www.gmx.net +++ Bitte lächeln!
