Hum, Taking the Microsoft naming approach, I'd suggest a number of names for a spectrum of OSes with options. Say: z/BASIC, z/DEVELOPER, z/BUSINESS, z/ENTERPRISE, and of course z/ULTIMATE . Keep in mind that I'm in the U.S.A. where we pronounce "z" as "zee", not "zed". Also keep in mind the bad German accent in English movies where "zee" is "the". For me, it's Friday morning. I haven't slept well due to a restless dog. And I'm insane. -- John McKown Senior Systems Programmer HealthMarkets Keeping the Promise of Affordable Coverage Administrative Services Group Information Technology The information contained in this e-mail message may be privileged and/or confidential.
