I don't have expectations as to the academic traditions in other places, so that I am beyond being offended by seeing them become - as we say - as mutable as they have seem to have become here. Though if you exposed further what you were trying to accomplish for students in terms of digital image processing via VBA, I would most certainly bet that we can find you a good/better alternative using Python and tools. I understand the practical realm of things quite well, and am pretty effective with VBA myself. My problem was I didn't have the stomach to sit down to make a project of learning it. Clever guy that I am, I reasoned that if I undertook to do something a bit more serious - like learning Python - then what I needed to know to do what I need to do in VBA would get thrown in for free. Which is pretty much as things have worked out. Art _______________________________________________ Edu-sig mailing list [email protected] http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/edu-sig
