sadly, i've seen this multiple delimiters thing a lot in recent years... it seems that in many cases, they are simply read as one delimiter... i've seen this in a lot of web URLs when hiliting and/or clicking on URLs as well as in numerous applications on both *nix and winwhatever... some of this has even been seen in ported applications to OS2... _______________________________________________ fpc-pascal maillist - fpc-pascal@lists.freepascal.org http://lists.freepascal.org/mailman/listinfo/fpc-pascal
