Hi again,

Yeah i see what you mean.  What do we all do then?
Perhaps work together on a public version that has the basic

Take care,
Al

E boa sorte com sua programacao Euphoria!


My bumper sticker: "I brake for LED's"

 From "Black Knight":
"I can live with losing the good fight,
 but i can not live without fighting it".
"Well on second thought, maybe not."
