naaa. i am not a windows convert and for a long time have looked down on those who think that case does not matter, but answer me this: given some variables: nick, NICK, Nick... what do they contain, and how does their content differ? if they contain the same thing then there should only be one varible, if they contain different things, they should have different names. so in reality you should never even get to the case that two variables just differ by casing, and as a result: case does not matter. q.e.d. greetings, martin. -- looking for a job doing pike programming, sTeam/caudium/pike/roxen training, sTeam/caudium/roxen and/or unix system administration anywhere in the world. -- pike programmer travelling and working in europe (latvia) open-steam.org unix system- bahai.or.at iaeste.(tuwien.ac|or).at administrator (stuts|black.linux-m68k).org is.schon.org Martin B�hr http://www.iaeste.or.at/~mbaehr/
