Thanks. 'Less popular' in the sense that we're not so in-your-face with the
controls anymore ... frequently they were recommended in the newsgroups by
us and others, but since we've moved away from the project they don't get
the same exposure here. They are, however, still being downloaded and used.

: why have they become less popular?  i would think with the addition of a 
few
: more flavors of windows and comctl32.dll (and it's related, more
: contemporary dll's) that they would be even more popular.  all i know is
: that i've never had someone tell me that they've lost any windows
: functionality as a result of one of them on their computer.  i've read
: horror stories about people taking all the care in the world to avoid
: trouble with distributing the MS common controls but still causing 
problems.
