Neil:

I dont disagree. I highly suspect at some point Ill redo the main GUI, it was a bad choice but I havent wanted to go back and reinvent the wheel as yet. But I tend to agree, the ribbon stuff is terrible to handle, but that may be more my fault than the gui's, Im using vs2008, its abotu time I upgraded to VS2010 as I understand it handles all the various ribbon options much better than 2008, and has better menu control in that format.

Anyway, it may change in future..

Oh, no.
Moving forward always seems to be a backward step with the stuff they remove.
It seems to be the way of the world, like solidworks. Nothing is backward compatible, unlike ACAD
I have 3 commercially used packages out there over 20 years old, and one has recently been replaced by later stuff, but they still can't wean themselves off the stuff that still works. Version 93 last updated in 2000 for millennium issues. And it co-operated with windows then and now, still.

Art, Don't let them beat you. You are doing brilliant work.
My VESA stuff still work under virtual PC. At least W7 is better behaved.
Only poorly written patchy stuff fails, and so it should.

Nice to respond to you Art.
PM me if for email if I can be of assistance.
