possibility of giving somebody an access to private information kept on my

long trouble in contrast to just temporary unpleasantness<BR>of restoring data

for an outsider to ,say, read files on my PC connected to Internet, he should
be<BR>able to take over, at least partially, PC's operational system. For it,

tailored for these needs (an ability to transmit<BR>covertly, etc.). Not just
something standard, available on each computer like Hyperterminal in<BR>Win95.

mind that even an intruder with an access cannot visit your PC casually, from

Hi Ton
Thanks for your hierarchy description.
You're right, I remember how much spare-time Metastock took up when I first
cracked it open. I guess that we have all been on "steep learning curves".
I'm going to avoid the web based functions in VB and stick strictly with
those lovely spinners and sliders, etc.
This site
http://www.mission-software.com/GettingStarted.htm
has a program similar to what I want to "tuck-into-bed" with Metastock and
Excel. I figure that with a few user forms and number crunching I can put
together a real "blivet" ... you know ... one of those patchworks with wires
hanging out the side.
Thanks again
Walter
