It has many tests (1770+) and often highlights compiler problems not discovered by the ACVC. The PIWG test suite is much smaller and somewhat less then current. The ACES QUICKLOOK is similar in size and functionality to the PIWG and better supported. The ACES analysis tools are quite comprehensive. -------------------------------------------------------------------- Gary McKee McKee Consulting gmckee@cloudnine.com P. O.
