"Release Engine"????? Perhaps that is so, but in that case my ignorance is even more shameful than I previously thought, because I now must ask, What is a "Release Engine"? (BTW, how is it pronounced? If it stands for "Release Engine", perhaps it would be pronounced "relenj"--I've been saying it to rhyme more or less with "a fling".) : Shouldn't this be on the "acronyms" thread ? ;P I considered that, but didn't post it there because I didn't want to see what other people *guessed* it was--I can guess myself--I was hoping that someone who actually knew where the term came from would answer. -Greg
