Remember that they are tools, not the product. They are relatively easy to implement - but they are not doing the job well. We can make better and better hammers to break a board in two - or we can invent a saw. But we know how to make hammers and we have the materials and infrastructure for hammers, so we try to make our carpenters experts at breaking a board with a hammer. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html
