Here's an example: Imagine someone who writes many HTML-pages, which contain table-like information, sometimes with headers, in different sizes etc. Most people would simply write the more or less same HTML-code as many times as needed and fill it with different data. A little script/program which takes the raw data and writes the HTML-code would be rather simple to code and would have many advantages: -less bugs in the HTML-code (since you won't make copy/paste errors) -much easier to maintain in the future -etc It can be as simple as that. It doesn't have to be another C-compiler. Now of course, in a chess program it's a bit more difficult than a HTML-table. :o) Sargon
