I'd also probably argue that the lack of a 'switch' case as an explicit means to tell the compiler to build a branch tree structure does mean that one has to be sure that one's branch tree is structured the way one wants it..... ciao drieux --- -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
