Also, if you look through the archives, you'll find a message that I wrote about the 2.0 spec and overlays. The point being that the (& & &) syntax did not conflict with the current syntax and that the example given for voice overlays in the spec was actually incorrect. I think that the spec author (I apologize for not having that handy right now) accepted the (& & &) syntax but has not released a new 2.0 spec since the time that we had that discussion. tom -- tom satter - or just plain old tom (303) 543-7623 (home) To subscribe/unsubscribe, point your browser to: http://www.tullochgorm.com/lists.html
