I would rather have two optimised applications that can talk to eachother then one single application. One reason is that each project would be smaller. The other is that when I use a web browser I don't want to be forced to also have its mail reader installed as I might want to use some other program or visa versa. At the moment I use Galeon (a web browser only) which uses the Mozilla redering engine. -- Preben Randhol �For me, Ada95 puts back the joy in programming.�
