I've done cooperative editing this way, by the way, and discovered that I really don't want to work that way with the person I tried it with. He kept making typos, and correcting my indentation style. Unforgivable! ;-) Robert> I feared this sort of thing can be a problem.

It's not like I can't work with that guy at all, it's just that (as Stefan points out) sometimes it's better to have a communication buffer bigger than one character! I suspect we could have worked out a protocol if needed, but in fact we were sitting at neighboring desks. -- Institute of Policy and Planning Sciences http://turnbull.sk.tsukuba.ac.jp University of Tsukuba Tennodai 1-1-1 Tsukuba 305-8573 JAPAN Ask not how you can "do" free software business; ask what your business can "do for" free software.
