I have no idea if this is why the code was changed and I'm not arguing that it can't and shouldn't work better than it does. I'm just saying that it's incredibly unlikely that Vince, I, or anybody else has ever said "gee, I'm not busy today. I think I'll rewrite a perfectly good proc of Pete's for no good reason". >If you object to our suggestion, you should give us an explicit "good >reason" for the 7.4.1 'twiddle' behaviour, and should also give answer to >David's complaint: Mark, Mark, Mark. /You/ said Pete's code had a bug. I assumed that's why somebody started to change it originally (software evolution being what it is, it's not surprising that the code drifted further away from Pete's for other reasons as time went on). That's my one and only point. I don't object to the way twiddle did work, does work, or will work. I don't twiddle. I am not saying that Pete's code is bad or that it should not be used where appropriate (heaven knows there are still thousands of lines of his code in use right now). I just don't like the implication that Vince or others are changing code just to break things. That's idiotic. -- Jonathan E.
