Gang, There is very much a synergy between the ways that DG and I work together (even though we have never met.) David comes up with many (and sometimes most) of the ideas that we implement, and I code most of the VM stuff. But as professional programmers know, that coding is a small part of the effort, and it is difficult to distinguish between what DG has come up with and what I have done myself. So... if this stuff breaks, it is your fault too, David... :-) (much humor implied here.) John dyson@root.com
