Thnks for the info. I didn't even think I would have to look in a unix/c ref manual. This was usefull. http://www.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/007908799/xsh/sysstat.h.html -- David Bear -- let me buy your intellectual property, I want to own your thoughts -- -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
