By the way, this reminds me of an ancient Dilbert cartoon. It went something like this One programmer says, "Why in my day, we had to do everything in assembler." The next one trumps him with, "You had an assembler? In my day we had to enter everything in hex?" The next one says, "You had hex? We had to toggle everything in using ones and zeroes." And of course inevitably the last guy says, "You had ones? ..." I do admit that sometimes it seems like some of my programs are all zeroes. Alan
