Experience shows that this almost never happens. Once someone gets his pet code integrated, they never care to document it. They know how it works and don't need documentation, so they don't bother. What is worse is that (in my experience) they don't even return to maintain their code (in case it was something more than a bug fix) and the original author is forced to fix and maintain their code later. Currently the SQLObject documentation is scarce. There are so many things you can only find out about if you read the source, and there are things in the existing documentation that are no longer accurate and can be misleading. And I haven't seen any incremental addition to them, but while I read the code I discover new undocumented things added regularly. -- Dan ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Take Surveys.
