I totally agree with Larry's suggestions. A MMTTY plugin for DXBase would 
be the "nuts" What say Jack ?
If not problematic (child spawning and related issues) , I would definitely 
endorse full undockable DXBase windows. There are many in the ham community 
that do use two monitors to facilitate many applications (ham and others) 
running at once and in the foreground.
Lastly, thanks Jack for a great program. I have been with DXBase since the 
first year I believe and what makes this special for me is the fact that I 
also wrote a DOS based (Dbase) commercial logging program in the 80's called 
DXdb and marketed it for a couple of years. Time and family would not allow 
me to continue. DXbase was a wonderful application for windows that really 
came along in a timely manner.
Happy holidays all, see ya on the bands...

A free update every ten years is a GREAT idea :-))
