If you consider a line of code is anything in a C or H file delimited by a newline then monsoon is about 40,000 lines of code. But if you consider a line of code as anything with a semicolon after it then it's more like 11,000 lines. Quite a difference. I don't know if anyone would call monsoon modern or successful but the statistics above are for the engine and parser alone -- no GUI code at all. Another thing to bear in mind is: more lines of code != better engine. Scott
