Theo, I'll insist then that I think pf is a superior piece of code which I benefit from every day, and that Henning's efforts to simplify it are so very welcome in a world addicted to complexity. My beef is solely with the technique of regenerating checksums, not the people working on the code. Criticising a design choice with argument and evidence is not the same as attacking the designer's integrity or competence and if I seem to be playing the men and not the ball, it is not my intent and I apologise. As to your other points, I will hopefully address them in another email I have been drafting and should have finished over the next few days. best, Richard.
