Damien,

I'm still trying to figure out whether or not it should be lost :)  Will do though.  However, the real benefit will be to move all of the memory management to it or something like it.  I am still a little surprised (or is it made suspicious by?) the fact that it appears to be possible to do with the information the image has now.  Part of me wonders <somebody's gotta say it>why in the hell</somebody's gotta say it> nobody dealt with it years ago.  Not having to litter code with extraneous network iniializations should be enough motivation to do something so simple, assuming it is indeed so simple.

Bill, i think the main cause of having a lot of duplicated code and many similar stuff repeated here and there, because different parts of system were implemented by different people at different points of time. Sure, we could blame those people for not looking at what was already done, and for not looking at the common stuff and not trying to unify it. But it doesn't makes any sense , because we are having what we having :) What is good, that since years passed, there are guys, like you (and many others) who are brave enough to get deep into that mess and find a way to optimize it, reorganize it, clean it and unify it.

Bill

Hi Bill,

if you don't want your code to be lost, please add it to the tracker.

Andy,

Hopefully this is the promised code.  Getting this across town and through the layers of MS software has been interesting, to put it mildly.

Bill
