Actually, your statement is slightly inaccurate. The Verity search engine is more than fifteen years old in its core technology; it was started as a LISP project at IIRC MIT. (At one point I was much amused to look at the C source code and find car() and cdr() functions.) As of my last information, Python isn't used at all in or with the Verity search engine. What you're referring to is the Verity Ultraseek engine, originally written and owned by Infoseek before getting transferred to Verity through a series of dot-bomb transactions. The Ultraseek engine doesn't use Python, but Python is used to control the engine, and I think much of the spider is written in Python. -- Aahz ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) <*> http://www.pythoncraft.com/ "19.
