Re: SUMMARY: Array syntax

Hello Sam, and here goes the problem, some people here understand the issue a bit better than others and some people actually do the work because they can and are being respected for - just by their experience...

The new one makes one thing clear, you will get an array. marcus Friday, January 11, 2008, 8:09:05 PM, you wrote: > On Fri, 2008-01-11 at 14:06 -0500, Olivier Hill wrote: >> On Jan 11, 2008 1:47 PM, Sam Barrow <sam@sambarrow.com> wrote: >> > >> > True.
