Rgr. I believe my buddy has talked about such things with the same conclusions. > We did at work.

I believe the Java project that's been such a success for us at work started out with such a design. The software architect for that has long since moved on so I can't get the benefit of his experience. So far I haven't seen anyone disagree with an OO design. That's the precursor to any coding or language selection, so how do we get started on this thing? I'll hunt down UML tools for Eclipse and get them installed on a few machines, plus find some books. BTW: It's appropriate that we discuss this on the -dev list instead of the main list. If we go back and forth with discussions on the main list a bunch of users may unsubscribe due to the extra activity. Also, we avoid input from users with only a passing interest in the design who just want their feature requests added. -- Curt, WE7U. archer at eskimo dot com http://www.eskimo.com/~archer Lotto: A tax on people who are bad at math. - unknown Windows: Microsoft's tax on computer illiterates. - WE7U.
