Ed, I would like to throw in ONE MORE programming style comment – a lot of people like to keep everything to 80 columns or less so that they can print the file and not be missing a lot of stuff that's off the right sid of the paper! I must say that I can definitely understand your distractions – next week my wife starts back at night school (taking 3 graduate courses, working fulltime during the day also). So I am going to become a fulltime baby-sitter in my own home – unfortunately, that probably means that my AniPro experiments will come to a complete halt for 9 months until she graduates. I don't have much free time to play at work, and my free time is going to be consumed as a "support personnel" for my wife during evening, weekends, etc. Now, to give you some feedback, I think that editing the POCO to change the data values is reasonable – I agree that a lot of code would be requ'd to make a fancy interface – at that stage it would be better to just compile it and make it read a DATA file – which is something that we don't want to get into- do we? POCO-heads are willing to wade into the code and change stuff to change options, data, etc. In fact, I get the impression that if anyone UP'd a compiled POCO utility and didn't provide the source for the POCO-heads to browse thru he would be considered "elitist". Later, Dennis
