I had to decide to stay at that no-sense value or to fix it: because of URL_OpenA() is "never" used really with tags, I decided to change it. Also note that other tags are used in a preferences application and there is no other OpenURL preferences application around, but the one in the OpenURL archive.
I am setting up sf pages for quite all my stuff, anyway I was always opened to give away sources to anybody that gently asked for. F.e. I sent TheBar sources to 4 different persons for an os4 port, which, btw, never happened. Ciao. Alfonso. ------------------------ Yahoo!
