I'd be prepared to contribute some money for a dedicated MP/code/download server, even if it was in the US and I wouldn't benefit personally. I'm sure with a bit of publicity using the newsletter we could get together sufficient contributions. We could even offer immortality in the THANKS file for the project, if we were feeling particularly generous. In fact taking this one stage further, one of the loading messages could be modified to display "Thanks to .....", taking a name at random from the THANKS file... -Stuart ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Beautiful is writing same markup.
