We do have old text based tools which work when people are considerate enough to be thoughtful of those not (yet) so knowledgable as themselves. It is not helfpul or considerate or kind to be clever clever about it. It says instead that you aspire to a closed world where only the knowledgable are welcome. I have been reading this group for some time and appreciate the ringside seat at the development table. At the same time I have some problems which RDF will I think be of great help to me. At the moment I have collected a lot of information about tools but not yet been able to sort out the appropriate ones for implementation. It would help me (and I suspect others) if your message lists followed what is a convention udsed by many others in software development and put e.g. [SW] at the start of the message. You clever ones may not need it but it helps incomers. Thank you John Fletcher ------------------------------------------------------------------- Dr John P.
