I can't tell you how good they are since I work almost exclusively in C. I can tell you that PW is a bit quirky and, when you first work with it, can be confusing. The manual is very little help unless you're a seasoned programmer (another case of letting the programmer write the manual instead of getting a professional writer to do it; sort of like getting an auto mechanic to director a film, it might get done but the results might not be worth looking at). But I digress too much... If you have problems finding your way around Power Windows 2.5, send me e-mail. I'll see if I can help. -Ron Tarrant a976@Mindlink.UUCP
