this argument applies equally well to lists and vectors. should lists and vectors be non-externalizable just because they may contain open streams? -- Sam Steingold (http://www.podval.org/~sds) running w2k <http://www.camera.org> <http://www.iris.org.il> <http://www.memri.org/> <http://www.mideasttruth.com/> <http://www.honestreporting.com> The software said it requires Windows 3.1 or better, so I installed Linux.
