I also base my statements on experience by people who have actually used it. It works. It does reduce compile times, at least in the certain cases, and it definitly improves decoupling. -- James Kanze mailto: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Conseils en informatique orient�e objet/ Beratung in objektorientierter Datenverarbeitung 9 pl.
