Problems is an understatement and I blame that for the mess I have now. Its as if they intended to poison it. They just didn't use a strong enough dose of arsenic, and created a monster with all the workarounds. None of which ever worked 100% because the web pages all seemed to be using a different version. The "it works here" syndrome, essentially the same as the N.I.H. beliefs. :( Cheers, Gene Heskett -- "There are four boxes to be used in defense of liberty: soap, ballot, jury, and ammo.
