While I don't have to do 128 versions of anything, I do have to do 3 or 4 versions at a time, and using the GUI would still take forever. As far as documentation goes, I find that when throubleshooting a configuration, as often as not I want to see not only the description, but the actual CDL. -- Grant Edwards grante Yow! ...
