- Jesper,

- Be honest, is this all you could think up to post? If you must know, I
- work on fairly large projects (usually 12+ files) and not only do the
- filenames have to be changed, but any reference to them in the actual
- code must be changed as well. These projects are graded AT the school,
- so everything must be changed back before submitting. When you are
- dealing with several projects at a time, this becomes a real pain in the
- butt!!!
- Don't post unconstructive responses...
