And, as I pointed out in the earlier thread, _you yourself_ were fully aware of the limitation on field and variable names in July 2000 (unless you want to claim that was another forged message).If Grant were still around, I suspect that he could confirm that the fact that 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 of using spaces in field/variable names, since this issue has come up very, very infrequently.John-- John Peacock Director of Information Research and Technology Rowman & Littlefield Publishing Group 4720 Boston Way Lanham, MD 20706 301-459-3366 x.5010 fax 301-429-5747 ------------------------------------------------------------- This message is sent to you because you are subscribed to the mailing list
