It isn't the mere presence of datatype meta-information, of course. It's the implicit requirement not to use the information in ways that contravene the datatype. -- John Cowan <jcowan@r...> http://www.ccil.org/~cowan "One time I called in to the central system and started working on a big thick 'sed' and 'awk' heavy duty data bashing script. One of the geologists came by, looked over my shoulder and said 'Oh, that happens to me too. Try hanging up and phoning in again.'" --Beverly Erlebacher
