I agree both group of plugins sulutions should be a programmers toolkit. Even when creating apps from declares, having this top notch plugins is a good idea if only to see how things should work.

But you really should have a look at the MBS plugins too. Christian has his namespace all figured out and I've not ever had any trouble with them co-existing with other plugins or anything like that. I use them constantly and really couldn't live without them. I still do a huge amount of work with declares, but it's worth the money for the plugin for other things that aren't that easy to either figure out or to implement without access to lower level structures. Have a look through his documentation and you'll find at least a hundred things you've been meaning to figure out how to do made simpler ;) Cheers, James _______________________________________________ Unsubscribe or switch delivery mode: <http://www.realsoftware.com/support/listmanager/> Search the archives of this list here: <http://support.realsoftware.com/listarchives/lists.html> _______________________________________________ Unsubscribe or switch delivery mode: <http://www.realsoftware.com/support/listmanager/> Search the archives of this list here: <http://support.realsoftware.com/listarchives/lists.html>
