Then you said VSPEC was difficult to learn and use and promoted RSPEC to replace it. At SAS I observed you showing someone else how to use RSPEC. My observation was that it is more cumbersome to use. VSPEC is slicker and more powerful. Now we have the same sort of thing regarding astrosurf. You make a crticism and then proceed to promote your own product. Maybe I am wrong about astrosurf. Could you elaborate on the problems with it? It is hard for me to believe your accusation since Dr. Galan made a call for papers in astrosurf.
