Any new system would require every third party tool to be adapted to use it was there any reason to load the code base with something which will only have a limited uptake. Adding an extension to provide an alternative would be the correct way forward, and then if that gains traction, look to it's status then. -- Lester Caine - G8HFL ----------------------------- Contact - http://lsces.co.uk/wiki/?page=contact L.S.Caine Electronic Services - http://lsces.co.uk EnquirySolve - http://enquirysolve.com/ Model Engineers Digital Workshop - http://medw.co.uk Rainbow Digital Media - http://rainbowdigitalmedia.co.uk
