Yes, I'd like to see this too. It's a suggestion that comes up quite often.

Well, hang on. What information counts as being about the program and what information counts as being about something else is a pretty vague area. We could have a lot of fun with it if we were philosophers. I'm actually of the opinion that the developers and the license are information about the program and should be in an About box. What about a recommendation to the effect of: The About dialog should contain the name and version number of the program, a short description of what the program does, a copyright notice, and the license under which the program is made available. Is that acceptable? colin _____________________________ ____ rtnl http://rational.cjb.net c z robertson ndirect co uk icq 13294163
