Hi, Yes, exactly. I realise I have a lot of work ahead of me but it gives me a chanse to improve upon my earlier code ideas and fix things I missed along the way. Perhaps put in more error trapping, error logging, etc so the new engine is more stable. Not only that but the Java language seams especially designed for extendable programs and code reuse. One thing I am really falling in love with in Java is Java beans. A bean can be anything from a program utility or an entire program that can be extended or included into a larger program to quickly and rapidly build new and more powerful applications. It is the lazy coders dream. Just include it and suddenly you have saved yourself x amount of work by including that one bean. Cheating? Heck no. Just a programmers wishes come true. Every programmer loves to have ready to use code at his or her command.
