well, although I understand most PHP code snippets, I can't rate it's 
quality since I don't see the big picture and don't know the 
pitfalls. I'm using C as a "higher level Assembler" <g>. Fighting 
most time with strict memory and/or performance limits, I seldom can 
use the luxury of object orientated approaches. Tweaking bits and 
bytes is different.

Indeed. This mailing list is great: productive, civilized... One of 
the reasons giving PmWiki the best rating among the candidates.

Thanks for the response!
