Okay, I take back everything I said about the wiki. ;-) After working with it tonight, I've come to the conclusion that my fears are unfounded. I agree with Vincent now, that whether or not anybody works on it or not, it is a great tool to store information. It was very easy to build up a document and rearrange it if it was not quite right. > > I think wiki's are great. =) So now I do to. Are you happy now :-P -- Greg
