I find ... no, I'm stoipping now. :) On CM in general, I've not found a single product which works nicely off the shelf. Ones that need configuration tend to take longer to configure than the product takes to write (in my experience). Other than that, I've found it easier to write a spot of perl to throw up a cgi interface, should some rigid system be required for some reason. Call me a hcker if you will, but there have been no good process driven projects I've ever worked on. Don't get me wrong, I do understand the requirement for objects and all that, should CM be required. </rant> Steve -- The Mailing List for the Devon & Cornwall LUG Mail majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxx with "unsubscribe list" in the message body to unsubscribe.
