This is a dead horse, and I refuse to beat it any more, so this will be my final comment on the matter. First, I used the phrase "such as", which you might attempt to discover the meaning of. Secondly, XPR's and XEM's was used in the general sense, and was not specifically directed at any given spec or implementation. You know of one such spec at this time. Don't assume that it is the final and only one. -larry -- The Mac?
