    will people realize programming is a job and not a religion. Sigh... Tim Smith I know what you're thinking punk, you're thinking did he spell check this document?

            I'm worried - it's your second post in R&R forum about people getting too serious about zeros and ones; you're apparently facing some *nix folks. :) Tomasz Sowinski -- http://www.shooltz.com

                I know I personally sometimes fall into the zealotry trap. Take my initial negative posts about BOOST's shared_ptr. But after a few weeks of thinking about it, I realized that for the problem they are trying to solve, that shared_ptr is a good solution. Hell, I am even warming up to STL's functors and algorithms. :omg: Tim Smith I know what you're thinking punk, you're thinking did he spell check this document?
