This is a direct result of a discussion thread in which I attempted to ascertain a suitable set of values for "not useful" and "find it yourself", the net result of which was your insistence that there was no suitable value for either and that neither should be allowed.

I have no problem at all with supporting arbitrary 'magic' values, and allowing the user to specify these in an unambiguous and visually obvious fashion. > Bruce -- ]] Mike Smith, Software Engineer msmith@gsoft.com.au [[ ]] Genesis Software genesis@gsoft.com.au [[ ]] High-speed data acquisition and (GSM mobile) 0411-222-496 [[ ]] realtime instrument control.
