Gary.... have you put any effort into any OTHER styles that you DO think has got close to a factory style?

I mean, you are somewhat cutting the legs out of your own argument about how it is all possible, if not easy, by this example. I am presuming, at some time or another, that you really HAVE done something you could use in public, or what has this all been about?

If the tools provided in the instrument, as Ian admits, CAN'T do what the factory programmers can, well, there goes the whole idea! Somewhere along the line, SOMEBODY has had to have succeeded at all this before the inclusion of the capabilities is all rather moot, don't you think?
