Like any fashion, these things are subject to change when the fashion-makers in the world start doing something different & their admirers emulate it. I wonder what J-Lo uses for character case when she writes Ada code? :-) MDC -- Marin David Condic Senior Software Engineer Pace Micro Technology Americas www.pacemicro.com Enabling the digital revolution e-Mail: marin.condic@pacemicro.com "David Thompson" wrote in message news:m0vS8.55744$LC3.4302904@bgtnsc04-news.ops.worldnet.att.net... > MDC went on to say: > > ....
