that's what the Leos seem to agree on...haven't heard from the peter's yet though =) recent discussion is still loads of theory. Once code is in place and working, we'll be voting, I guess... of course, regardless of any cool roles 'n contracts we dream up, an assembler that has access to ant and source code can override just about anything. grz, - Leo, lost half a nail on a CPU cooler today -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> For additional commands, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
