:-) I was a beta tester when they were introducing it on 2000i...a
computational resource nightmare. Worst part now on ts8 is it appears they
use the same code for quote pages as for radars---, and just disable the
stuff you have to pay extra for, so opening a lowly quote page costs
something like 20meg of memory. I quit using quote pages. Life is too short.
Good luck,
Chris
