It'd be nice to do that ... "fixes" should really not change things that started out correct! At work a few years ago we actually did some research on this issue and, as a result of finding that the "ll" usage was not very widely accepted (in several dictionaries and quite a few CS research papers), we switched everything to use the single "l" usage. Which is why USB has so far been consistent about that form. - Dave ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by: NEC IT Guy Games.
