Working on this crap again today, got all the M$ components but when I issue nmake it errors out when building spamc.exe Fatal Error: don't know how to make 'replace/getopts.c' I'm working with the current trunk also. I see no replace directory in spamc\ I've also read the README.WIN file and nothing in there seems to help. -- -Doc Penguins: Do it on the ice. 8:44am up 4 days, 16:55, 17 users, load average: 0.18, 0.30, 0.37 SARE HQ http://www.rulesemporium.com/
