Don't you find that the versions balloon when you start using them? I found it more difficult to keep track of version control.

I find it a pain every time I do it. And I've done 50 or 60 times now. /8-> Nic ___________________________________________________________________________ To unsubscribe, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] and include in the body of the message "signoff SERVLET-INTEREST".
