Yes, that is unexpected and I am not a fan of        TS>>> it, but its usually a non-issue.               RV>> Programm technical it's possible to make an array. I used the same fido        RV>> adress but another URL. It's must be possible               TS> This is just a design flaw. For sure this can be repaired, but like        TS> anything it takes time and I have other priorities.

I        TS> keep running into it myself during tests, but not in relevant scenarios.              Understandable. Don't know how Delphi (was it Delphi) handles array in       variable lenghts.               Rinaldo Visscher       --- WinPoint 404.0        * Origin: C-Sharp programmer (2:280/5555.10)       SEEN-BY: 15/0 106/201 124/5016 129/331 153/757 7715 203/0 218/700       SEEN-BY: 221/0 229/110 317 426 428 664 700 266/512 280/464 5003 5555       SEEN-BY: 282/1038 292/854 8125 301/1 310/31 317/3 320/219 341/234       SEEN-BY: 396/45 460/58 712/848 770/1 2452/250       PATH: 280/5555 464 712/848 229/426           |
