Completely off topic, but I dislike the error messages that say "cannot". "Cannot" implies that the problem exists currently and can cause confusion when someone goes to check the error condition (which sometimes no longer exists). I prefer "Could not" which implies the problem existed at the time the program ran, but might not exist now. Or maybe I have worked with too many English majors. -- Chas.
