Define "latest date" please. Hopefully you mean "most recent date". Sure, it would work. But my suggestion has the benefit of allowing for the individual files to stand alone. Not a big benefit I know :-) And of setting some of the other info. Like having a place to put the license and copyright since I noticed that people don't seem to currently put those in comments of such included qbk files. -- -- Grafik - Don't Assume Anything -- Redshift Software, Inc. - http://redshift-software.com -- rrivera/acm.org - grafik/redshift-software.com -- 102708583/icq - grafikrobot/aim - grafikrobot/yahoo ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Using Tomcat but need to do more?
