consistent way to check for existence of member

[Valentin Schmidt]

hi list,

does anyone know a way to check for the existence of a member with a 
given name that works for both dmx and dmx2004?
I know the following 2 methods, but it would be nicer to have a 
consistent method for all versions:

on memberExists  (someName)
 return (member(someName).membernum > 0) -- only for dir < 10
 return (not voidP(member(someName))) -- only for dir >=10
end

thanx,
valentin
