        Yeah I may have come across it over the years but maybe
        it was so 'full' of stuff skipped it.  But mark gave
        me some info so I'll try that next.  
 
 SA>         What's MK?  A package for Jam stuff?  I could likely code
 SA>         what I need in 15 min once I had the correct structures.

 GR> Yes, it is the object oriented message toolkit from Mark May.  I'm
 GR> sure you COULD code it in 15 minutes with the proper structures... the
 GR> question is - why?

        Why?  Cause its there :)
        For what I need done it shouldn't take more than 15
        minutes max ...even compile/testing phase :)

 GR> I have used Mark May's toolkit extensively, and I could whip up some
 GR> message utilities extremely quickly with it because it takes all the
 GR> down and dirty coding out of the loop...

 GR> Your call.  Just thought I'd suggest it.

        Its not that I don't want to use it just its like wading
        through tons of code to find that 4 lines of code that
        I need :).  I'll try mark's unit first and then if
        no go from there I'll look at the package.
