Well, for _msei18n_ specifically, I can provide some information. Namely that it is not only an internationalzation function like the .po files for translation of control elements and such. It is much more generally useable - and it's because of such a use that I know - to build variants of (GUI) programs by means of parametrizing the control elements in every accessible manner. I.e. you can define a user interface on your big machine creating a layout taking your wohle screen, and then use msei18n to generate another layout for small notebook screens or perhaps even tiny tablet computers. (Of course, the layout modification also has its limits, there will be some size where everything will no longer fit or even be discernible.) Other uses are imaginable, I just mentioned the described one because that's what I used it for: some kind of a "kiosk" system that's to be deployed on machines with various screen sizes, where the application should always cover the whole screen and not show the common scaling effects of the graphics system. Does that help you a bit? (BTW, I had created a variant of Martin's original interactive-only program that could be partially scripted, although I didn't yet bother to remove or suppress the graphics output. I did provide it here, but it seemed there was no interest for it.) -- -- (Weitergabe von Adressdaten, Telefonnummern u.ä. ohne Zustimmung nicht gestattet, ebenso Zusendung von Werbung oder ähnlichem) ----------------------------------------------------------- Mit freundlichen Grüßen, S.
