I'm not really the right person to be talking to about these issues; if you have problems with the DTS service agreement, please contact DTS about it. However, it is hard for DTS (and people here on the forums/group) to help unless there is enough information. Frequently, that will entail looking at your project, or, even more ideally, isolate your problem to a test case that reproduces the issue; then, you don't have to send your entire project. Often times, I find that people discover the answer to their problem when trying to isolate it. corbin > > “You agree that when requesting and receiving TECHNICAL SUPPORT FROM DTS > SeRVICES, you will not provide Apple with any INFORMATION, including that > incorporated in your software, that is confidential to you or any third > party.
