With you 100% on this Phil. After reading this thread I went back and checked my tags, because my VA works and I couldn't remember whether or not I had set compilation tags. Turns out I hadn't. And it all Just Works(tm).
So to get back to the question in the OP, I'd have to answer yes. Does the OP need something else? Maybe. But please don't break what already works out of the box. -- aubuti ------------------------------------------------------------------------ aubuti's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2074 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=47297 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
