well strangely enough, thats what got me started, I had purchased a dowloaded cool edit with all the bells and whistles from Syntrillium and i I submitted my code to download agin for my new computer and they diverted me to Adobe.

But I'd be interested in a free download of Cool Edit, if you know a place - it never occurred to me to put freedownload of cool edit into Google, and see what came up.

too dumb to live that's my problem!
