Absolutely, I was rebutting Brigit's idea that it would be a break in scope if the locking were to be placed in the UDF rather than outside of it. I have been using my "services/plugins" model in my fusebox applications for more than a year. The global services structure (which shows which plugin directories offer which services and the level of service they provide) creation (asks all plugins what fuseactions (services) they can do and records) & searching (finds which plugin can handle a service and what level of service is offered) is done through a custom tag and locking is done inside of that, until lock() and unlock() is made available in UDFs that's the way it will have to stay, wether I like it or not. ---------- James Sleeman Innovative Media Ltd Phone: (03) 377 6262 http://www.websolutions.co.nz/ CAUTION: The information contained in this email message is confidential and may be legally privileged.
