one idea: post more information here and let this list (aka, the people on the list) generate a script that will do all the work for you. 10 to 20 lines of perl would probably do it, depending on the complexity of the problem. (1 or 2 lines might do it, but I think homey don't play that game no more.) - Ana _______________________________________________ RLUG mailing list RLUG@rlug.org http://lists.rlug.org/mailman/listinfo/rlug
