Yea, like Perl or Java! It does work (poorly). Perl may have problems due to "bad coding" based upon an assumption of "ASCII" vs. "EBCDIC". Java appears (so far) to handle this a bit better by being Unicode based, internally. But I haven't done a lot of Java, so I am talking from a very small experience level. -- John McKown Senior Systems Programmer HealthMarkets Keeping the Promise of Affordable Coverage Administrative Services Group Information Technology The information contained in this e-mail message may be privileged and/or confidential.
