Actually, it is unique. Apple has several patents on it. Apple's Ali Ozer and Bertrand Serlet are credited as inventors, along with others. I read all of the patents a long time ago, and they helped me to understand how autorelease works. But you need a law degree or two to learn how to program by reading patents, so I don't recommend it to everyone.... Oh, what the heck, go to www.uspto.gov/patft/ and search on patents nos. 6,304,884, 6,026,415 and 5,687,370. -- Bill Cheeseman - [EMAIL PROTECTED] Harvard Law School, LL.B. '68, LL.M.
