I think one of those will do the trick. -- Jason Etheridge | VP, Community Support and Advocacy | Equinox Software, Inc. / The Evergreen Experts | phone: 1-877-OPEN-ILS (673-6457) | email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] | web: http://www.esilibrary.com Image by FlamingText.com --------------------------------- Check out the hottest 2008 models today at Yahoo!
