Good to know... thanks. Here's one: If someone wants to run some 4gl programs developed under I-4GL and some under 4GL RDS (maybe they buy a product compiled using I-4GL, but do inhouse development using RDS on a smaller machine with a cheaper licence) then do they need _both_ I-4GL and RDS run-time licences? As far as I can tell I-4GL r/t contains essentially only message files, which are a subset of those in RDS. -- -Hugh Grierson--hugh@fivegl.co.nz----------Go fast or go home---------------- -Task Management Ltd-Auckland-New Zealand-Ph:+64.9.5206109-Fax:+64.9.5206101- Hi, I'm a .sig virus.
