hpdrag can you tell us the name and config of your development system? C++? Also, I should say one thing, you have the prinde of the hard-charging whippersnapper that can 'do better.' That is a good thing. I would even say you are exhibiting more restraint than most 'Davids' who load up against 'Goliath.' I for one will enjoy watching your project. Things look different from the point of view of someone in the market with thousands of users all screaming for more, huge overhead and payroll that must be met week after week after week, and marketing deptartments that will promise the world at the least opportunity. They can't stop to re-write. Maybe...unless somene challeges them! ::::: Opera :::::
