Lack of an interface tends to be troublesome. Look at doc-central for example: it has to guess which web browser you have installed. Other programs will have the exact same problem. In this case the interface is really minimal (how does one start a browser), but the lack of a well defined interface is problematic. > If that were true, then nothing would depend on mail-reader or > www-browser or audio-mixer. But things do. And things could be better if they could actually start a mail-reader automatically :) Wichert. -- _________________________________________________________________ /[EMAIL PROTECTED] This space intentionally left occupied \ | [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.wiggy.net/ | | 1024D/2FA3BC2D 576E 100B 518D 2F16 36B0 2805 3CB8 9250 2FA3 BC2D | -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
