And, as Ipointed out in the earlier thread, _you yourself_ were fully aware of the limitationon field and variable names in July 2000 (unless you want to claim that wasanother forged message).If Grant were still around, I suspect that he could confirm that the factthat WebCat 1-3 permitted spaces in field and variable names was an oversight,not a concious design decision. Apparently very few people would even think ofusing spaces in field/variable names, since this issue has come up very, very infrequently.John-- John PeacockDirector of Information Research and TechnologyRowman & Littlefield Publishing Group4720 Boston WayLanham, MD 20706301-459-3366 x.5010fax 301-429-5747-------------------------------------------------------------This message is sent to you because you are subscribed to the mailing list
