As I said that's not so easy... This is political, choising a technology that everybody uses can't be something that we'll be reproached to you if the project is not on schedule/budget! I think we have already debated about this, nothing have changed and it is still very very hard (impossible?) to win this battle :( Pascal. -- --|------------------------------------------------------ --| Pascal Obry Team-Ada Member --| 45, rue Gabriel Peri - 78114 Magny Les Hameaux FRANCE --|------------------------------------------------------ --| http://www.obry.org --| "The best way to travel is by means of imagination" --| --| gpg --keyserver wwwkeys.pgp.net --recv-key C1082595
