Thanks, Ron.   The ignorance or arrogance of many software manufacturers is
astonishing.  I am frequently disgusted when installations place 10s of
megabytes of unwanted 'stuff' on my hard drive, without asking or sometimes
without even advising, or force me to install ancillary packages even when I
uncheck them, or remove needed .dll files when deinstalling.  Like they were
programmed by narcissistic adolescents!  (Say, come to think of it...)
:-)
