Nope ;-) In this case, leaving out the "the" is appropriate. Now you would need article if it was: the "boot_map" instance But because you left out "instance" you don't need the article, as "boot_map" is a name of an object and doesn't need the article when used by itself. You wouldn't use an article with: The code was written by Steven. But you would if you said: The code was written by the Steven person. ;-) > > > > Definite articles are a pain ;-) As I said.
