+1. Thanks very much for helping out. Note: FYI. We still have one remaining unfinished task WRT mirroring. Our download page (http://jakarta.apache.org/cactus/downloads.html) points directly to http://jakarta.apache.org/builds/jakarta-cactus/... I guess we need to modify it to use a dynamic script. Stefan has been explaining it to us but I haven't taken the time to do it yet. -Vincent --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
