No way, not on this! I am not even going to allow a user to print from this
application - let them be happy it at least calculates reasonable values :-)

Will do that. I heard, nobody at RSI stays on the Mac development position
for too long :-(

I think it is the wierdest of all platforms. At least my Mac clone does not
let me get bored: for instance, I can be typing and then discover that my
application silently quit, without a beep or any sort of error message.
Fun, huh? I had this happened most often with MS Word - I guess MS is
trying to sabotage the competitor platform ... Then I get to locate where
the hell did I make the last change, before it crashed. IDL quit on me just
once so far, it did not like my Macintizing of the Unix code :-(
Cheers,
Pavel
