I have to agree with this one. If there were a document I could point to and say that the recommended way of doing error codes can be found here it would save me huge amounts of time with in house one shot protocols in terms of educating people about what works and what doesn't work. A good example is the constant re-use of RFC821's response codes. If that itself were brought up to date and re-released on its own it would do alot to help new protocol writers.... -MM -- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Michael Mealling | Vote Libertarian! | www.rwhois.net/michael Sr. Research Engineer | www.ga.lp.org/gwinnett | ICQ#: 14198821 Network Solutions | www.lp.org | michaelm@netsol.com
