If the libraries that do allow limited items don't provide the functionality you need, help add it. Or, talk to the authors of the libraries that don't allow limited items, but do offer the functions you want, about improving them. SAL (http://www.toadmail.com/~ada_wizard/) allows limited items, but is somewhat lacking in functionality compared to other libraries; want to help improve it? -- -- Stephe ___________________________________________________________ This mail sent using ToadMail -- Web based e-mail @ ToadNet
