There are probably more I missed, or where the extra logic isn't obvious because of the way the code is truncated in the report. So we're looking at maybe 15 uses in 200 packages. That's still something, but it's not strong evidence that this is an extremely common task. Regards, Rowan Tommins [IMSoP]
