I could also add some more like "primary developer never responds to email", "CLA discourages external contributions", and "uses executable name as corporate marketing tool". Admittedly rtsadmin is a nice piece of code, thanks btw, but your company is falling short of accepted standards for stewardship of a FLOSS project. Please tell me why we all wouldn't be better off if I forked rtsadmin tomorrow. Regards -- Andy
