If someone has the wherewithal to actually use the system they will. If someone has the inclination they will write code. Ofcourse if someone is footing the bill it will be termed Major Project and will be launched at Grand Maratha or some such fancy place. -- Rgds JTD -- http://mm.glug-bom.org/mailman/listinfo/linuxers
