The problem isn't that TC2 sucks, it's that it doesn't.  If it was a crappy program, someone else would create an alternative.  The whole reason I began this thread lo! those many moons ago was to find out if there was anything else that does what TC2 does.  Aside from some vague references to DPHoadley some day maybe working on something that might possibly do what I need, there's not much else out there.  They've made a good product which has a slight flaw which most people can overlook or work around.  I'm boycotting their self-righteous asses out of annoyance at their bowdlerizing, finger-waggling, and arrogant moral busybodying, not because they have a shit product.
