To type or not to type... (sorry) :-) It would seem that what we want is a different notion of 'type'. When you say that 'my set of XXX routines will handle any class of objects as long as they respond YYY and ZZZ methods' then you have given a specification of a (more abstract) type. This is perhaps a 'type specification' that can match any number of actual types (or classes). (For some reason is sounds an awful lot like something I've read elsewhere...) ======================================== Preston L.
