Geez Alan read what I said I dont give a darn about new projects or code, its the old stuff currently in production man.  EG has to be able to take the same existing code and produce the same results as DM does.  Otherwise it makes management very pissy when the programmers come back and say we have to now all of a sudden have to rewrite all this existing code because the new editor wont work as theh old one does.
