I'm sorry but none of the open source projects I've looked at impressed me with confidence in the programmers supposedly superior coding abilities. Most programmers aren't very good. My time is too valuable to spend fixing mostly amateurish open source code I came across. It's generally: horribly written, extremely buggy, and inefficient. Don't get me started on bad UI design. _______________________________________________ http://www.mccmedia.com/mailman/listinfo/brin-l
