But perhaps Aryeh and David need to stop rising to the bait when someone tells them they are wrong. I understand them replying up until now, because I can see that silence might be interpreted as their acquiescence. But I think to reply to naysayers now will only add much more noise. Both sides have made their points loud and clear, and the points don't need repetition. Remko: this thread has generated interesting discussions, clearly relevant to ports. If you don't like the discussions, simply press the delete key or don't reply. Stephen
