If you're only doing it three or four times a second, the overhead from a file read or database query is negligable. However, if you expect to get updated information every time, that could be a problem. Writing to a file 4 times per second is much worse than reading from it. If you do want to use POE, I think there's an example that tails a file which might be a good place to start. - Perrin ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Microsoft Defy all challenges.
