Perhaps it would still take the same time over the whole file, but I think that by doing a depth-first search I can get to the first Leaf more quickly. This is important in two scenarios. First, sometimes I just need to get a single array, and it doesn't matter which one. Secondly, it is more reassuring to users (and even myself) to be able to print progress reports as the file is loading. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Microsoft Defy all challenges.
