The latter clearly has a       section entitled "Permissions" which show what the app will be able to       access (and perhaps modify). Not so the Play Store, which has a vague       section called "Data Safety".              --       Jeff              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
