Joe, when you think you're "finished" with the class, please let me know so I can add it to the Validate-package-part "Finance". > The second link is a link to a tester script I created if you want to > test things yourself.

I'm strongly in favor of making the "old" function a wrapper - and also adjust "multiple" accordingly. When you say that the class itself is finished I'll do the rest. If you can it would be nice to get some testing-creditcard-numbers (surely not correct ones) for integration in the test-scripts of Validate. Stefan
