Knowing this in advance has perhaps colored my thinking WRT all this, but it's NOT something I intend (or ever intended) to pass on. I'd have Peter remove it from the repository before ever even considering inflicting it on future generations and, like that little Anthrax infested island off the coast of Scotland (used as a testing range for the Porton Down biological weapons center), it's sometimes imperative to keep the public away from something for their own good. :-) > John and David are probably the only ones who will ever touch the vm system, > but look at the commit messages they turn out...

I will (and generally do, if you check the logs) make sure that any user visible bug fixes or changes are properly documented. Jordan
