If I think back to the early days of MVS development, roughly one APAR in twenty had some sort of security implication. Think how many there have been over the years and how many lines of code there are in MVS - and MVS's interfaces were carefully defined and architected. A LOT of Microsoft's interfaces are deliberate holes built across systems to expedite shipment of some feature or other. One of the aspects of open source software that I suspect truly frightens Microsoft is the continual peer reviewing that goes on. Published and thus criticised code is the strongest of all. -- Phil Payne The Devil's IT Dictionary - last updated 2002/01/20: http://www.isham-research.com/dd.html UK +44 7785 302803 Germany +49 173 6242039
