I also said talk is cheap, and there are more great ideas than what will ever be implemented. In open source development, if you want to see a feature implemented, you are usually left to do it yourself and send patches to the right places. Core devs love patches, code is expensive. :~) Regards -- Iain Buclaw *(p < e ? p++ : p) = (c & 0x0f) + '0';
