Hi Dragan

>Oops, I was too slow with the keyboard and skipped a part of the sentence. When I said 'in a separate file', I meant 'which would not be the same as the cuckoo egg file', so we'd have one with our functions, and another one with original versions (the renamed .spx).

Yes of course, I should have seen this too. Adding another "level" of procedure file and the use of a different named "mediator" function would make your idea work even with identic function names on both ends.

Nice trick then to outrun the missing IN clause for functions. Nevertheless the speed impact you have to expect on this procedurefile switching, let me hope I will never be forced to use it. :-D
