You are, of course, correct. You are, of course, also bailing the ocean -- the pedants and troublemakers on this list are beyond help.They often seem to want to provoke others, and when challenged directly, step away. They're just trolls. Some of them also whine occasionally about being unable to find work. There couldn't possibly be a connection between their behavior and that problem, of course... -- zMan -- "I've got a mainframe and I'm not afraid to use it" ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
