I think L&Fs are considered part of the platform customisation, not necessarily intended to be WORA. An L&F legitimately might morph somewhat to each platform to blend in better. I think what you have run into is a side effect of this thinking. What will have to do is think about each platform separately, and just thank your lucky stars that some of the code is common to all. -- Roedy Green Canadian Mind Products http://mindprod.com For me, the appeal of computer programming is that even though I am quite a klutz, I can still produce something, in a sense perfect, because the computer gives me as many chances as I please to get it right.
