interesting that this should come up here, as it (separate layout) presents another opportunity for partial opacity, that is 2 views of a datatype with the same layout, one of which is missing fields producing an opaque hole in the datatype, useful and worth the effort i'm not sure... _______________________________________________ bitc-dev mailing list [email protected] http://www.coyotos.org/mailman/listinfo/bitc-dev
