I fail to see why people accept without any proof that somebody can just take the disassembled, unstructured code from a few engines (without any code and documentation) and merge it, achieving a better performance. If this was that easy, why not take a bunch of best Open Source programs and merge them, creating the best open source engine? That should be much easier, right? -- Michal Rudolf ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Let Crystal Reports handle the reporting - Free Crystal Reports 2008 30-Day trial.
