Why not allow the user a choice between recursive and non-recursive evaluation? It is possible to write code to check the evaluations are less than a certain limit (say 15) Has any one here ever programmed with the X Windows / OSF Motif kit mid 1990s? In X Windows you merge X application resources. You may be want to consider merging MessageResources? May be reading the standard web resource and then read message resources from a DB (or vice versa)? -- Peter Pilgrim +-----\ +-++----++----+ Java Technologist | | | || || | 'n' Shine | O | | || --+| ---+ /\ | ._ / | | \ \ | | / \ | | \ \ | |+-- || ---+ A new day /_ _\ "Up" | | | | | || || | is coming || +-+ +-+ +-++----++----+ <home page="http://www.xenonsoft.demon.co.uk/" /> -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> For additional commands, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
