I see Peters and your point, however this is a bit tricky to do (the licence dialog is a standard dialog in the setup creator, I'd have to create a new dialog from scratch or modify the sources of the setup creator and recompile it). I'll see what I can do. -- Did you ever realize how much text fits in eighty columns? If you now consider that a signature usually consists of up to four lines, this gives you enough space to spread a tremendous amount of information with your messages. So seize this opportunity and don't waste your signature with bullshit nobody will read.
