Well, malicious or not, it seems a better solution would have been to do exactly what Jack has done. Give directions in the "read me" file for changing the link in your program. That would give a person the choice to do it or not. Not do it for you, possibly without your knowledge. I don't have that problem, because being on a Mac I usually have to install files myself, not automatically, but I certainly wouldn't want something going into my program and changing anything without my knowledge. And I don't think Jack is trying to further the "war" here. He is just trying to keep us informed. That's his job. Diane
