And even then, while the functions might be equivalent in producing matching outputs from input, there could be other side effects that mean they're not truly equivalent. For example, one might leave a SET setting in a different condition than it was before the function was called, or a different work area selected, or the record pointer at a different place. -- 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.
