If you want serious answers to questions, you've got to ask it as something other than a drunk frat boy with a chip on his shoulder. There are 160 people on this mailing list, and I'm sure I'm not the only one that gets tired of it.

So please stop. -Sean -- __________________________________________________________________ Sean Dague Mid-Hudson Valley sean at dague dot net Linux Users Group http://dague.net http://mhvlug.org There is no silver bullet.
