Yes, I guess people don't have the background that I expect. I do say that a transport filter is like a "Unix filter", meaning that it's like a Unix command line like ls something | grep | whatever ... where grep is a filter, but even then people probably don't know about the parallelism. A transport filter is run in parallel, of course. There is quite a long description of it in the manual, which does talk about the different processes, but it doesn't actually say "run in parallel". -- Philip Hazel University of Cambridge Computing Service, [EMAIL PROTECTED] Cambridge, England.
