Which is one of the reasons why I'd rather point to existing responses
than post code. If people learn how to fish, some will be less
inclined to ask for fish. I know, people are passionate on both sides
of that argument.

Ya know, we really could use a FAQ for this group. Jon Sisk was doing
that a long time ago but I think for lack of interest from the group,
or maybe lack of appreciation, that effort died. Oh well, status quo.

I got an idea, let's make a web site where people can post
this stuff to. *laughing sarcastically*

Well, Glen, I can understand you being cynical after the effort you've
put into PickSource and mvDevCentral. I think the reality is that most
people are keen to VISIT a site with the answers, but are much slower to
CONTRIBUTE their knowledge to the site.

But we do keep getting the same questions coming up here time after
time. And we forever have the issue of people saying "What is mv?".

So we REALLY do need an FAQ.

Now, let me think about that before I put my hand up to start it off.

Cheers,

Brian Speirs

That reminds me of a rather cynical item from my tagline collection:

"Give a man a fish and you feed him for a day. Teach a man to fish
and you can sell him tackle and bait for the rest of his life."
