The user has no choice as to what browser to use when usign a graphical interface to administer the NSCP Enterprise server and Livewire development environments.In your own words, that's bad for the consumer and bad for progress in the market place. o I've not heard this before, do you have documentation on this? o Anyone using a GUI to admin a server gets what they deserve. o An admin relying on a www server to be running on a server they're administering is an idiot. Of course, if what you say is true (somehow I doubt it), and NSCP does require the use of their browser to do something, I agree that it's bad for the consumer and bad for progress. <<< Justin, Reg: 1.5 years ago I used Fasttrack. It required Netscape 2.x for administration, because of the heavy use of plugins and Javascript, I think. One reason I switched to WebSite Pro. Which uses the Windows GUI for admin programs. Now I wish I knew all the command line functions by heart. I don't love Unix enough to do that. In any case I much prefer the tabbed forms and drop down lists in WebSite. They work OK. GUIs are not the enemy ;-) Chaz
