Gordon, I was a bit suspicious because of the advice to spread the message to all persons on one's mailing list - which I refrained to do - but not suspicous enough to check out the name of the virus. Well, I'll try now to reinstall "sulfnbk". What a loss of time! Thanks very much! G.Faltlhansl [EMAIL PROTECTED] This message was screened for viruses by a Norton Antivirus Programme
