"Clipper-derived unreadable drivel" I'm intrigued, what language are you working in? Clipper v5 was a pretty impressive development language for 1990 - with code blocks, a flexible pre-processor, garbage collection, exception handling, decent speed and an API to allow easy integration with routines written in c. It doesn't have to be unreadable at all (unless it's written by someone who thinks it is dBase). -- Doug Woodrow -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
