It reduces readability as you need to be sure you spelt it correctly according to the definition. One could in fact have a GetString and getstring and Getstring and getString procedure. What is the problem with _ ? Get_String is more reable to me as it seperates Get and String. > > The syntax could be less finger stretchy with all the '_'s and we > could have toUnboundedString instead of to_unbounded_string.

What do you find more easy to read: ConvertIntegertoUnboundedString or Convert_Integer_To_Unbounded_String (just to give an extreme example) -- Preben Randhol http://www.pvv.org/~randhol/
