As I said, Peter himself is the only one who could either commit that code to E or grant permission in writing for it to be done. That one person then becomes the roadblock -- what if he gets busy? What if he wins the lottery? gets hit by a bus? The point is, it shouldn't be necessary for something like that to have to happen in order to move code around in the project's own repository, particularly as often as things get re-shuffled around here. :) Michael -- Michael Jennings (a.k.a.
