I am no coder by any stretch of the imagination but I would suspect that working out command sets and what to put where would be a pain in the ass even with the specs. I don't wanna sound like I'm putting on the poor little me act but we have it hard enough without people putting obsticles that really don't need to be, in our way. that's my $0.2 worth. -- Shaun Oliver "You are only young once, but you can stay immature indefinitely."
