Thanks for your reply, Jeffrey. I now know what you're saying. What you are saying is an "extention" of EU, kind of like meta tags in HTML. Again, I was just confused, and re-itterate that the standards are the specs (language definition) which RDS sets, with our input, of course! I think that there must be at least a prototype of an update software. Right now there's no EU prog that can really do Internet/web operations, as I understand it. What I suggest is that library routine authors can maybe define a global constant and then users of that routine can do a type-check, aborting if necessary. Good idea. There is no such thing like this in other languages, including HTML, that "mandates" recording of author/date info. Everything in HTML <meta> is non-standard, there is no standard, by W3C's admission, in HTML 4.0, of what goes into a meta tag. So I think this may be voluntary? Alan
