  I was in support of BML and the decsion to have a run time program.

 Was that supporting or extorting;-) Well if everybody could write scripts
then we would not need plugin developers. If you write a script and chose
to release it free, ot shareware I fully support you. If you develop a
commercial plugin I expect it to run out of the box. Thats what the run time
module offers. I can't use any as I run Amiga. My intent was not to slam
anybody but to show that many cannot use a script version.
 My own opinion is that you owe nobody any explanations(sp) . I think your
doing LW a service and admire you for it.
