I suspect that there is a difference of understanding of the word 'architecture' My understanding is the framework that glues classes together. If you believe that architecture comes first, how do people design and code lower level libraries, that don't in themselves do anything, unless they are part of an architecture? When they are designed, the architectures in many case have not been designed. -- Nick
