Honestly? No I hadn't! Too many things on the go at the moment with EU ;)
I'm enjoying it though! I have to admit that all this indirection going on
with call_func(), call_proc() is new to me. I'm going to have to get it straight
in my mind what's calling what, when, AND what's returning what, when. It
seems a bit convoluted to me at the moment, but hey I'm brand new to EU.
I'm not done yet!! Thanks...
