I can't run a business from your CAD workstation. I can't live without accounting software. I would hardly call apps such as Cadence "half-assed", even if you prefer something else. In fact, Candence runs on Windows, Linux and Solaris but NOT FreeBSD, and its by far the most used product the market in that genre. DT __________________________________________ Yahoo!
