Sometimes it's not the dev teams choice ... draconian limits on installation of new and updated libraries have forced my hand in several jobs. I could either spend the time to reinvent the wheel and redevelop a library I needed, or I could download the necessary code and include it in my internal distribution. Either way, I'm forced to fork a project. -- Alan Young /* PLUG: http://plug.org, #utah on irc.freenode.net Unsubscribe: http://plug.org/mailman/options/plug Don't fear the penguin. */
