I saw documentation in there I would have sworn was for functions introduced in 1.2... I suppose I could be mistaken, but still, didn't look THAT out of date... I really don't want to dig around in them to look, but that what the faulty memory bank's flagged it as... *sigh* But that description matches perfectly. Ah, well. Such is life.

I liked the quip about the guacamole in the 1.3 I&A trademarks section... :-) [I could offer comments on a few things that could have been done better, and I think I ran across one or maybe two bad (incorrect) examples, but I'm so impressed by the work that already went in to it and the quality of the final product and improvement over the old ones (whether they be 1.1 or 1.2) that I'm inclined to shut up now, and to terminate runon sentences, as well.] Deven -- Deven T.

I never saw a 1.2 official RKM....only the original 1.1 RKMS that came in four volumes. Has anyone seen Marc S1 from PlayNET??? Tell him that David M2 is still alive and well. PS didn't the Sybex books cover 1.2? -- David W. Martin author of "Tech Corner" INFO magazine. plink: OSS705 CompuServe: 73617,1620 Games are fun, but utilities are more productive!
