Ok, thanks this worked, i had tried building the any-any modules, but missed the -k option to get the module package to build. BTW, would it make sense to add a notice to the effect above into the README.Debian.gz file ? Friendly, Sven Luther -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
