I would do that, if it were my server. I am using a web host so I can get the benefits of their larger bandwidth. But, using a web host means I don't have access to the apache config files. I know I could use .htaccess for odd mime types but I also don't like messing with my site more than necessary. I really just don't want to do it. :-) Gene -- Linux era4.eracc.UUCP 2.6.8.1-12mdk i686 12:19:11 up 21 days, 12:56, 8 users, load average: 0.06, 0.10, 0.04 ERA Computer Consulting - http://www.eracc.com/ eCS, OS/2, Mandriva Linux, OpenServer & UnixWare resellers _______________________________________________ crossfire mailing list [email protected] http://mailman.metalforge.org/mailman/listinfo/crossfire
