You mean like when an actor asks to be taken off the credits of a movie? If you ever see "Shakes the Clown" (Bobcat Goldthwait), billed as "the 'Citizen Kane' of alcoholic clown movies," you will see that Robin Williams has an extended cameo as a dark-side mime ... but Robin's not in the credits. And if you see the movie, you will know why Robin asked (probably threatening a law suit) to be removed form the credits. -- Lan Barnes [EMAIL PROTECTED] Linux Guy, SCM Specialist 858-354-0616 Tcl/Tk Enthusiast and Aspirant -- [email protected] http://www.kernel-panic.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/kplug-list
