This is something I've never understood... why can't someone sell their license to use a software package with the hardware? I sure can sell my copy of MS Word, as long as I give all the copies I have with it. If I sell an AS/400, why shouldn't I be able to include the OS & Languages I licensed with it... as long as I don't keep any copies of it myself. david -- | Internet: david@midrange.com | WWW: http://www.midrange.com/david | | ...
