Not to mention that there are still fairly massive bugs floating around in gated. In 3.5beta4, which last I checked was the latest 3.5 release, they had little tricks like calling a routine that returned a pointer to static data, calling it again later from another function, and then the original function would try to use the now-stomped-on static data. The gated folks didn't seem to concerned about this, either. cjs Curt Sampson cjs@portal.ca Info at http://www.portal.ca/ Internet Portal Services, Inc.
