McNamee decvax!philabs!sbcs!bnl44!jpm jpm@BNL44.ARPA You didn't mention if you had bought it but I suspect you haven't. I would be interested in hearing from anyone who has seen a copy of MP and to know how it stacks up. I agree that JRT and Jim Tyson made a LOT of enemys with the JRT scam but maybe he used all that money to write a real product? It wouldn't be the first time a legitimate company rose from the ashes of a sham. --Chuck -- - - - D I S C L A I M E R - - - {ihnp4,fortune}!dual\ All opinions expressed herein are my {qantel,idi}-> !intelca!cem own and not those of my employer, my {ucbvax,hao}!hplabs/ friends, or my avocado plant. :-}
