I'm going to build eclipse later today and have a look at it by the way, if it's exciting I'll post on this thread about it. I hope so, then the last developer we have who is tied to VC can finally move to a real dev environment. John P Foster Golden Orb Technologies Pty Ltd http://www.golden-orb.com
