Hi, >VB is a language for writing simple user apps or scripts but not designed for writing OS stuff. ;-)) Agreed, but we _need_ 3rd party app software :) Moreover, I have a concept laying around to integrate the standard BeOS scripting stuff with VB, a bit like the Scripting Host stuff from Windows..... (sorry to swear :)) This would require however that our OBOS apps and servers actually _do_ support scripting :) Regards, Ithamar.
