No, I feel I've a lot of code to learn ;-) I think that, whilst MS have been rightly maligned for producing buggy software in the past, the free software world could learn a lot by examining their current practices. The part of Exchange I'm working on right now has 200K lines of code and a suite of 1500 tests to probe it. Lots of 'em are data driven tests too, so one test tests many different scenarios. That's just good engineering in my book. Angus
