This seems to me to be the same, interesting approach you've adopted with Glaurung. Your comment about Fruit is interesting, since I consider Fruit a more tradition program than Glaurung. I would guess Shredder is possibly similar, although it's difficult to nail down exactly. Anyway, only my 2 cents! regards, --tom
