The problem is that Corporations get nothing by inheriting from orgs except complexity. Every feature is overriden. They should be siblings, not parent and child. I realize that this is needed in the short term, and it looks quite thorough in terms of that. However we can't look at this as a solution. It's a patch, until someone can find the time to fix the whole system. -- -Henry Towsner Thank heavens, the sun has gone in, and I don't have to go out and enjoy it. -Logan Pearsall Smith ------------------------------ End of ackanomic Digest V3 #446 *******************************
