All what data? This is a serious question, because I don't really believe the point, but I'm willing to be convinced. I'm very skeptical however because I've personally implemented a nearly identical project in C++ (with which I'm quite comfortable) and Python (which I was learning as I wrote the project). It was faster to learn, code and debug the code in Python than it took to code and debug it in C++. -- Mark Lewis -- [email protected] http://www.kernel-panic.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/kplug-lpsg
