>Certainly it's true. If the factory always includes "additive" it will not forget to do it?
You are right, but then, the speed advantage of the SET PROC/LIB is mostly gone, right? You need to call it every time you call a method of your factory (if it needs it, of course) just to be absolutely certain your method will work (well, who can be absolutely certain in programming <g>)
[Update] By the way, I think I am making to much noise about nothing really important, sorry
