You are right in that it does not work for you(Karl) as you want it, and you do extra things to make it work for you.

That's what > Les meant by Apples and Oranges (GCJ Java and Sun > Java) This namecalling is getting nowhere and only adds insult to injury. There is no right way/best way to do things. Can we all just get along? Like "Coors beer comercials" that use NFL football coaches commercial Bill Parcells said "This conversation is going nowhere" Regards, Antonio > > -- > > Karl F.
