Wellll.... that is not entirely true. In a previous life I worked for a company that did stuff for MSWindows, and I noticed that every couple of years there would be a new fashion for How To Do Things. The old one usually still existed, but didn't get updated anymore so using it made you look old-fashioned (i.e. "different from the way Office looks"). (This way they keep everybody chasing a moving target, thereby always being behind MS itself). -Olaf. -- ___ Olaf 'Rhialto' Seibert -- You author it, and I'll reader it. \X/ rhialto/at/xs4all.nl -- Cetero censeo "authored" delendum esse. _______________________________________________ Pan-users mailing list Pan-users@nongnu.org http://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/pan-users
