Are you real, real sure about that?  I saw documentation in there I
would have sworn was for functions introduced in 1.2...  I suppose I
could be mistaken, but still, didn't look THAT out of date...  I
really don't want to dig around in them to look, but that what the
faulty memory bank's flagged it as...  *sigh*

But that description matches perfectly.  Ah, well.  Such is life.

Heh...

Peter> Thanks...

Quite welcome.  Well deserved.  I liked the quip about the guacamole
in the 1.3 I&A trademarks section...  :-)

[I could offer comments on a few things that could have been done
better, and I think I ran across one or maybe two bad (incorrect)
examples, but I'm so impressed by the work that already went in to it
and the quality of the final product and improvement over the old ones
(whether they be 1.1 or 1.2) that I'm inclined to shut up now, and to
terminate runon sentences, as well.]
