OK. Is that dependency on dtc something new? Or was it there already for certain sims and not others? Dependency requirements like these should be discussed on a case-per-case basis, I think. And the answers to the questions you ask above (can it be made optional, what functionality gets lost, etc) definitely influence the decision. -- Joel
