I must say i didn't look at it exactly but in the source code of exerb-3.2.0 there is a subdirectory "bruby-0.0.7" which contains the code to read/write the binary node tree. So i thought that there is some way to use it. But a short grep shows that no file includes anything from "bruby". So i can't say if this is a coming or a going feature. -- Best regards, emailto: scholz at scriptolutions dot com Lothar Scholz http://www.ruby-ide.com CTO Scriptolutions Ruby, PHP, Python IDE 's
