And my response is 'provide me with the best solution' if you believe it's such a big deal. Having access to the tools and the documentation to *DO* the best solution is at best 33% of the job. If the project did all the 'tasks' that you gave us 'enough information to do the job with' then we'd have Terry-BSD and no-one would be having fun. But, instead we go have fun and wait for someone else (ie; Terry!) to finish the 'trivial implementations' he claims must be done. *grin* Nate
