LOL:-) If those messages weren't there and the code was unique enough that it represented some intelectual property, then I wouldn't touch it without you permission. The difficulty is, having seen the code, how do I accomplish the same thing without using hints inherent in your code. Its like trying to write a literature-research paper; having read a hundred articles, I have to ensure that everything I say in my paper is either my own idea or is properly referenced. It takes great disipline to ensure that a bright idea at 9:00 in the morning isn't the result of reading something at 2:00 in the morning that I forgot to cite. Therefore, I don't even want to read code that I'm not free to take ideas from. Doug. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
