Re: aftershock 2 failed

[Stumpy]

I agree David. I use aftershock with the "Shock Only" option, then I go

into the code to set the base - because aftershock won't do that and the

title - because aftershock won't do that. After I used it a couple of

times and got the feel for the <object><embed> I made a template and now

I just use that. It could have been a really nice tool. Maybe version 3

will work better.
