If anyone is interested, the current "Utility Infielder" monthly column on byte.com discusses something near and dear to my heart. In the second of a 2-part series, Bill Nicholls discusses how he thinks software dev tools ought to be. I think Mr. Nicholls is "spot on". Here's the link: http://www.byte.com/column/BYT20000322S0001 I've seen a few mentions on the list about the value of building reusable components and the related need for some universal component-level programming interface guidelines to make that doable. This is an "inside-out" approach to the same thing addressed by this article from an "outside-in" point of view. Anyway I felt it was worth mentioning, even if you can't decipher what I've just said :o) Regards, Phil
