Unfortunately this software was developed under pressure over a period of a few months with a lot of monkey patching and code repeats. Like the day before a tournament some committee member cooks up a new format and I have to get up at 3 am to write the code for it which has to be up and running by 6 am. Anyway, I have played around with transplant and it is perfect for my needs. In the long run, I will remove all the hardcoded parts which are specific to a particular club and the problem will no longer arise. Assuming that more clubs use the software ;-) -- regards KG http://lawgon.livejournal.com Coimbatore LUG rox http://ilugcbe.techstud.org/ _______________________________________________ ILUGC Mailing List: http://www.ae.iitm.ac.in/mailman/listinfo/ilugc
