No offense taken :)

Yeah, but as you know, DV has double the bandwidth and an ECC stream
which makes it highly tolerant of things that plague the data stream.

Well, there are some things that the map window lets you do that can get
it into a bind.  Believe me, I'm aware of these and would like to
correct them when I have the chance.  My best advice is to be "gentile"
with it until then.  A fair number of people seem to be using it without
too much trouble.

Thanks!
