However, I don't believe the method above is a good one. Why? Because it's aimed at making the transition as painless as possible, and will lead to memory hogs among the programs whose authors don't pay enough attention. If we change the behavior, let's change the API while we're at it, so it won't go unnoticed! -- Richard Levitte \ Spannvägen 38, II \ [EMAIL PROTECTED] Redakteur@Stacken \ S-161 43 BROMMA \ T: +46-8-26 52 47 \ SWEDEN \ or +46-708-26 53 44 Procurator Odiosus Ex Infernis -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] Unsolicited commercial email is subject to an archival fee of $400.
