Pete, I'm pretty much a "self" made programmer (my high school diploma says : bookkeeper) and because of that I didn't develop any of my own "programming rules" (ehh it has to work is the one rule I have ...). And by being a "self" made programmer, I had to use of other peoples code to get things working... and I learned to adjust my programming to the code I'm working on. I think for projects like apache, jakarta and so on it's best to adjust to the code already there (ehhh if any..) and for new stuff I use sun's way (or a little bit my own way...).

(just been using linux for a year now, so this could be a "beginners question". btw I did a cvs checkout to get the latest sources, the latest tars seemed to be dissapeared from the download area >- You put in chmod , but not chown, chgrp.

I can implement it in the "official" source release of 1.2 if that's sufficient. Please let me know. btw Do I just e-mail you the sources or is there a public cvs add / commit possibility? Should I also make an effort to get this running under windows NT? (gone back from 4 to 1 nt box now, so hurry with this answer, before everything is linux ;)). Users probably need a MS resourcekit command-line to change the rights, so it's not a "fail safe" solutions I think.. Mvgr, Martin Don't get yourself killed while typing..
