It's not correct to say "its pdb file"; the viewer didn't create the file. The file could be opened by any application that is able to read the Plucker format (and none of them would be able to jump to the "correct" location:) > When I've written applications for clients in the > past, they have never said, "Your data is structured > incorrectly", they just say, " Your application does > not work correctly". Sure, but that's not what you said. Remember that you tried to be a bit more specific about the problem, i.e. you insisted that this was a viewer problem although it is the parser that *creates* the Plucker document. Also, if you had written a web browser and the client complained that it didn't work with a "broken" HTML document I don't think you would tell the client "Yes, my application doesn't work correctly"; I guess you instead might tell the client that "Your data is structured incorrectly" ;-) > It is often difficult for an end user to determine > if code or data is at fault when an application > behaves incorrectly. Then maybe they should avoid telling the developers *where* the problem is located and only tell them that there seems to be a problem ;-) /Mike _______________________________________________ plucker-list mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.rubberchicken.org/mailman/listinfo/plucker-list
