Sort of. Actually, it's sometimes the only correct way to implement a desing, as in implementing a singleton. Now many people would debate that using singletons is itself bad design, but that's another story. I see it as a valid tool (not trick) to do the job sometimes. ------------- Ehsan Akhgari Farda Technology (http://www.farda-tech.com/) List Owner: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [ Email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ] [ WWW: http://www.beginthread.com/Ehsan ] You had not yet sought yourselves: then you found me.
