Sorry for the late answer. I thought of merging the two when I started to implment the cpdf functions. A that time I wasn't sure how different the two approaches are and decided to implement them independently. I'm not sure if this was a good decission, but it was much easier. The discussion is similar to the why we have several sets of function for all the different databases. Anyway, in the mean time I will keep them separate and try to make the two as similar as possible and merge some day. Uwe -- Uwe.Steinmann@fernuni-hagen.de Tel: +2331 987 4528 Fax: +2331 987 375
