Of course if RH (and SUSE, Mandrake^H^H^H^H whatever they are today) were to make it crystal clear to the Macromedia^H^H^H^HAdobe execs that their solutions were substandard, and clearly explained to the suits in charge exactly WHY and that you guys were itching to kick em to the curb, they might see reason. Us user types and probably even you RH devels, can't get heard up in the upper ranks where a change could happen but if your PHBs could speak to theirs in their own Dilbert World language they might understand. Of course a believable threat to move from 'wait until there is a mature OS flash' to 'if that is your final answer I guess we will have to start helping em out over at gplflash.sf.net' would also serve to sharpen their focus. Who am I kidding though, they wouldn't listen. They are obsolete and have to replaced like the other 90% of the proprietary world that the cluetrain missed. Better still if their whole perverted file format can be replaced with something open, well understood and perhaps even a real IETF RFC. -- John M. http://www.beau.org/~jmorris This post is 100% M$Free!
