It's perfectly possible. Although what I'd like to know is why he said that *I* plagiarised him. I'd always assumed that it was because it was such a short piece of code that it was easy to duplicate by accident. Now, maybe, I have to consider that he ripped it off from me - otherwise why would Bob arrogantly start bitching about me ripping it off from a *fictitious* person? Simon
