Hi Tony,

Well you know what *I* am going to say 

It really depends on what you are planning to do with the data - list 
views allow some display options that EuGrid doesn't have and 
vice-versa.

With regard to the performance issue raised by Tommy Carlier: as the 
grid only paints the visible rows the performance is really only limited 
by the number of rows and columns in the visible area - unless you are 
planning to display large numbers of each then the speed should be 
pretty good even on a slow PC. I wrote & tested most of the original 
code on a PII 266 laptop and even for large datasets the performance 
seemed OK to me.  

I do have a new release pending at the moment (which includes some of 
the changes that you asked for ages ago) - I just need to get the 
documentation up to date and test it against the imminent win32lib 
release.  

I might be able to offer more advice if you can say a bit more about 
what you want to do.

Regards,

Phil Russell
