This leaves the new object-array constructor used less often. It could be exported explicitly into an oarray constructor, but I'm not sure about the advantages of that approach. There are benefits to having object arrays constructed in the same way as other arrays. It turns out many people actually like that feature of Numeric, which is the reason I didn't go the route of numarray which pulled object arrays out. At this point, however, object arrays can even be part of records and so need to be an integral part of the data-type description. Pulling that out is not going to happen. A more intelligent object-array constructor, however, may be a useful tool. -Travis ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Using Tomcat but need to do more?
