Right. Although, I don't think they're *infinitely* more powerful... maybe 50 times more, but to be *infinitely* more powerful requires format strings to be Turing-complete. ;-) T -- If you look at a thing nine hundred and ninety-nine times, you are perfectly safe; if you look at it the thousandth time, you are in frightful danger of seeing it for the first time. -- G.
