On that note, it reminds me of the time I noticed that the string tokenizer was deprecated. So I ask the TA, 'hey shouldn't I use the string.split() function?' Response: 'split uses regex, and is fairly confusing, so if you want to spend all the extra time to learn it you can, but we can't help you'. Wish I had now that I look back on it. -- Scott Paul Robertson http://spr.mahonri5.net GnuPG FingerPrint: 09ab 64b5 edc0 903e 93ce edb9 3bcc f8fb dc5d 7601
