It doesn't have much to do with the code itself, it's more of that "at home" feel. I also have these thoughts that if PEAR went belly up, so could ADOdb. Scary thought indeed. :-/ I do my own mods to ADOdb ;) So it does not bother me, certainly a LOT less than having to cope with all the 'improvements' in PHP itself! -- Lester Caine - G8HFL - Contact - http://lsces.co.uk/wiki/?page=contact L.S.Caine Electronic Services - http://lsces.co.uk EnquirySolve - http://enquirysolve.com/ Model Engineers Digital Workshop - http://medw.co.uk// Firebird - http://www.firebirdsql.org/index.php -- PHP Database Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
