So, I do not think that Borland >delphi not having generics is such a big deal for most people. How I hate Java. I can't believe how all the programmers who would slam Pascal and Ada for "bondage and discipline" turn around and use this language that doesn't do procedural programming, doesn't do generic programming, and doesn't have goto's. The fact that Java doesn't have generics says more about Java then the value of generics. -- David Starner - dstarner98@aasaa.ofe.org http/ftp: dvdeug.net.dhis.org It was starting to rain on the night that they cried forever, It was blinding with snow on the night that they screamed goodbye. - Dio, "Rock and Roll Children"
