In the above scenerio, the 'release' could be every 6 months, and the supplement could be every 3 months... This would enable the developers time to completely test stuff and at the same time give them a way to ensure that the sources they are working from are all the same.. I hope I made sense here... GIB thoughts SMALL email.. IMO Jerry
