Then your code breaks. You can't say you weren't warned. But if too much is made private, chances are you could never get your code working in the first place. This has happened to me several times when using 3rd party Java components. Serves us right for using closed source libraries, I suppose, but that wasn't my decision. -- Cheers, Simon B, [EMAIL PROTECTED], http://www.brunningonline.net/simon/blog/ -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
