Erm, yes, that's just what I meant, thank you. Don't know how I missed that… If this happens, it absolutely seems like an export to vcard should be the first order of business. Does anyone here know where the vcard export effort is right now? Would my little scenario outlined above fit in with that? (I like the idea of a canonical lisp representation of a record, though I suppose the current struct format is pretty close to that? Haven't looked at it in detail…) Eric ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ All the data continuously generated in your IT infrastructure contains a definitive record of customers, application performance, security threats, fraudulent activity and more.
