How large is your program? If it's not too big, it's entirely possible that updating your script to `use strict` could be done with minimal effort, and would give you an added level of built-in error checking that can prevent things like mislabeled variables, etc. _______________ DamnDirtyApe Those who know that they are profound strive for clarity.
