Now, that was uncalled-for, but not unexpected from you. Your supposedly sarcastic statement was on par with your others and contained nothing to imply sarcasm (can you say _smiley_?), BTW. The whole standards thing began because I talked about how I want to be able to use a particular language on many platforms. Which platform is being used is completely irrelevant to that discussion. You're the one that keeps bringing that subject up... needlessly... Your continuance in bringing up irrelevant things is starting to annoy me. Please try to determine what is a relevant thing to write before doing so. >-Mike Greg -- Greg Harp |"I was there to match my intellect on national TV, | against a plumber and an architect, both with a PhD." greg@ccwf.cc.utexas.edu| -- "I Lost on Jeopardy," Weird Al Yankovic
