And this is coming from someone who's not allergic to chewing a topic up thoroughly (when it is _warranted_). Watching this thread, I've been mystified as to what, if anything, it has to do with either Ada, C, or C++ (the newsgroups it's been cross-posted to). The participants in this discussion have demonstrated that there is an abundant supply of cerebral power available to be tapped out there, but could we please redirect the sheer torque of this mental dynamo back to leveraging the _technology_ in question here: [insert your favorite language]? :-) Thank you. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Internet.Usenet.Put_Signature (Name => "John G.
