  (grin) I never know when to stop. It ends up looking like a packapoo
ticket. Delphi is even worse... you can use fonts, italic, and bold.

 BL> What a good idea!

 Ro> I will post the MoonRock source & executable (uuencoded) in the

  Thanks. I love stealing people's good ideas.

 Ro> When I ran ELEMENT over the source code for MoonRock (which is
 Ro> written in Micro$oft VB/DOS) I picked up 3 mis-spelt variable
 Ro> names. It still functioned, but just oddly at times. Those are
 Ro> the most difficult to pick up, because the errors or effects
 Ro> they cause at runtime are subtle. 

  Tell me something new. It takes me *ages* to find these things. If I
type it wrong the first time, I can never see it.

 Ro> Well, I've got myself a poor man's Pro version now. The
 Ro> libraries are different I presume, to accomodate ISAM. Here's
 Ro> the size of the VB/DOS standard libs: 

 Ro> spin     lib      17,433 19-08-92   23:59
 Ro> vbdcl10  lib     628,151 19-08-92   23:59
 Ro> 87       lib       4,633 19-08-92   23:59
 Ro> vbdrt10  lib      34,483 19-08-92   23:59
 Ro> vbdos    lib       2,587 19-08-92   23:59
 Ro> vbdosqlb lib      33,280 19-08-92   23:59
 Ro> cmndlg   lib      49,687 19-08-92   23:59
 Ro> 7 file(s)      770,254 bytes

  Those are all exactly the same... dates, times, and everything. It's
just that I've got 53 files and 4Mb of them.
