Hi ts, Enjoyed reading your adventures in the wood very much :-) They mean disable I should imagine. It would be rather unreasonable to uninstall one piece of software to install another . . . So I don't think you have to do that The Surge RTE (the Curl plug in) and the Curl language is innovative whether it catches the mainstream is dependent on many factors . . . It is stable and powerful. From a programmers perspective it is supposedly similar to Lisp (I do not have the experience to confirm or deny this) for me it seems obvious and similar to well structured languages. It is most similar to Java but is both simpler and more elegant. Languages such as Java and its MS clone .NET require a Virtual Machine (or plug in) that has snippets of code that are called (or accessed) by any program. This is why you need the Curl plug in to run CurlChat which is written in the Curl language The .NET 'plug in' is about 80 meg or more and they will be building it in to WIndows Longhorn They are using marketing muscle to force it down everyones throat. The idea really is to 'rent out' code/programs (that is their long term aim) So you do not buy your WP - you lease it . . . The next chat which is themed around Time Travel is on Wednesday 12am GMT 12am GMT = 1pm UK 8am US Eastern Daylight Savings Time 5am in the US Pacific Friday at 12am the theme is 'safe computing' I would like to see you on the Wed one and know you have good ideas on safety :-) Hope that is of some help Lob CURLCHAT web site http://www.zen45800.zen.co.uk/curlchat/index.htm ------------------------ Yahoo!
