Okay, thanks for that useful snippet. It din't solve my main problem, but I can now do what I could only do previously as root, as a normal user. That was going to be my next thing to look at after I sorted out the extraction problem, but as usual you're way ahead of me ;-) Thanks anyway. -- Gary Debian 2.1r4 (kernel v2.0.39); XFree86 3.3.6 Everything should be made as simple as possible, but not simpler.
