Thanks, it was a couple of years ago that I wrote my parsing code, so I'm
not going to change it at this time, but I'll keep that in mind for
the future.
I experimented with Twig (but don't remember the exact results - it was a
year and a half ago), but somehow I missed that you could break the data
up in smaller chunks. That's really ironic because now I see that the
name Twig is because it's a branch off the tree!!!
Darn.
Thanks.... brew
