So far I can confirm it, it works like a charm!

Here's the big problem, from what I've learned from Thorsten Valentina  
DOES NOT abide by the memory management rules well estabilished for  
the Cocoa environment.

That is (from docs):
You take ownership of an object if you create it using a method whose  
name begins with “alloc” or “new” or contains “copy” (for example,  
alloc, newObject, or mutableCopy), or if you send it a retain message.

If there's no clear rule it's very hard to play nice...

As you know I'm a big fan of Vale, so will take the pain to learn what  
it takes to take good care of her
but if you are eager to lure others into her charms I strongly  
recommend you teach her how to behave ;-)

Meanwhile, could you please give me some guidelines?


Thanks for your kind attention

Cool Runnings,
Erne.
