OK, I don't remember the thread then. I'll go read up on it. > See, that's exactly what i'm talking about.

Because Adobe has the luxury of more resources to design and test a better version of the feature that is more in line with what their customers want? Railo, for example, have implemented a few things ahead of Adobe and have then gone back and changed their implementation to match Adobe's. On the subject of cfthread, Vince @ NA specifically offered for BlueDragon's implementation to change to become compatible with Adobe's (by adding features to allow both NA's original implementation and an Adobe-compatible implementation). Like it or not, Adobe define ColdFusion - the product and the language - and other vendors who make a "compatible" product are either compatible with Adobe's product or they're not. Companies / customers don't care whether Adobe's product is compatible with any of the other CFML engines. That's just a fact of life, I'm afraid. -- Sean A Corfield -- (904) 302-SEAN An Architect's View -- http://corfield.org/ "If you're not annoying somebody, you're not really alive." -- Margaret Atwood ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Adobe® ColdFusion® 8 software 8 is the most important and dramatic release to date Get the Free Trial http://ad.doubleclick.net/clk;160198600;22374440;w Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Talk/message.cfm/messageid:301067 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=11502.10531.4
