There are at least two reasons: -- you know what you and your contacts want (at least better than we do); -- it takes a lot of time to produce a useful class file, and it will be useful only if it has a specific purpose. Robin, if instead you were suggesting that we must produce these classes, then I misunderstood you: apologies but you will need to explain further why that is the case. chris
