Hi Clemens,

yes I know, you're right.
Generally I simply just hate to install (or demand from 
users) "extra" stuff in order to use some command tool, I need to 
make a "simple application", that is self-contained (I know, it uses 
a zillion DLL's from the operating system....) instead of installing 
all kinds of software.

Now for something completely OT for this forum :-)

I have been making PC programs since the good old CPM days (for 22 
years now), been thru OS/2 and all the windows versions, and I have 
to say, I don't miss the old days ! It's never been more stable and 
easy to make software than it is today. I know, its also never been 
more complicated than it is today, but you have to pay a price for 
all the features you get. Part of that is due to Mr. Gates and 
Microsoft.
I take my hat of to those how uses Linux and experiments with it, 
however, I could not see myself use Linux as a developer, at least 
not with the things I do for a living, it would simply be a problem 
with tools (FPGA designs etc etc) and my productivity would suffer.

Now I might be completely ignorant and wrong about this, but this is 
how I see it :-)

Don't flame me........

Regards,
Carsten
