but that's the thing, to some (e.g. me) ten separate processes that each do a fairly small thing with understandable interfaces between them is an *enormous* benefit over one bigger thing that does all that in an integrated fashion. to the point that even if the one big thing would have nice,additional features, I would still opt for the decomposed one. obviously you have a different opinion and that is your good right, but you have to accept that for a lot of people this *is* important. that's why having the choice would be great! regards robert -- Robert Lemmen http://www.semistable.com
