At the risk of getting into the religious wars here, let me say that I agree with you about Delphi (wonderful product) with the following caveat: I think Delphi encourages sloppy programming. To wit: 1. variables can be used without previously declaring them. It's therefore much harder to catch typing errors since the compiler is quite happy accepting them and it's only at runtime that the errors are apparent. This creates enormous debugging headaches. Take it from one who has had to work with other people's code. I much prefer the strong typing of C++, letting the compiler do the work of catching my typing errors *before* the code runs. 2. variables myvariable1 and MyVariable1 and even mYvarIAbLe1 are all the same. Even Visual Basic won't let you get away with this. I use the compiler feature of VB to find typing errors for me in the following manner: I declare my variables in MixedCase. Then when I use the variables in my code I write them in lowercase. If I typed them in correctly the compiler will correct the case for me. Otherwise I know to look for a typing error. -Mark Wieder Using The Bat! v1.60h on Windows 2000 5.0 Build 2195 Service Pack 2 -- ________________________________________________________ Current version is 1.61 | "Using TBTECH" information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html
