This is one of the reasons why I'm starting to like Objective-C so much. I started learning it because I figured it would be the way to go for some stuff I want to write for Macs here at work, but the more I learn about it, the more I see places where the little extra it does beyond C is a very good extra. -- Alex Esplin /* PLUG: http://plug.org, #utah on irc.freenode.net Unsubscribe: http://plug.org/mailman/options/plug Don't fear the penguin. */
