Fascinating work, and I agree with his conclusion, paraphased as "this might work." "Complexity" however you choose to define it, is a good way to estimate a project. A simple application you choose to implement in a language you haven't worked in before will be more complex than one you've done a dozen times before. The trick is identifying all of the factors involved. -- Ted Roche Ted Roche & Associates, LLC http://www.tedroche.com _______________________________________________ Post Messages to: [email protected] Subscription Maintenance: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profox OT-free version of this list: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profoxtech Searchable Archive: http://leafe.com/archives/search/profox This message: http://leafe.com/archives/byMID/profox/[EMAIL PROTECTED] ** All postings, unless explicitly stated otherwise, are the opinions of the author, and do not constitute legal or medical advice.
