And it does not matter if the software is free and open source, or bought at great expense - there are always these differences - sometimes niggly, and often major - it sometimes looks as if the docs were a statement of intent, with the implementation taking a left turn at the first crossroads. - Hendrik - Hendrik -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
