Wonderful imagery! Whilst I would also like to see something nicer that "got", I'm actually more concerned about the ordering. I always expect to see "expected" first, followed by "got" or "received" or whatever, and I end up having to look at the output a lot closer than I think I should in order to get things the right way around. But perhaps it's just my brain that's wired backwards. -- Paul Johnson - [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.pjcj.net
