Sorry for responding before doing all the fact checking. I had about 10 minutes before heading out the door to meet with a health and safety inspector for the new house... My intent was to start dragging just these discussion into a conversation. There is a LOT more going on, or at least could go on, like tool wear, tool type, and things like you mention. >> and lets find a simple quick and fast way to do it. > > That was never the plan here, the idea was to do it right, and once. I'm almost regretting dashing off the reply, so let me clarify my stance on this particular topic. If the tool table is screwed up or has a bug, tools ore machinery break. They tools or machinery break, there is a probability that the part is ruined and, more importantly, a chance that the person will be injured. Not doing it correctly is NOT an option. That was an unstated assumption, and I am sorry that I did not make it clear. That said, what is the most maintainable long term solution? ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ The Command Line: Reinvented for Modern Developers Did the resurgence of CLI tooling catch you by surprise?
