Your choice of the screwdriver was unfortunate as it does continue to be useful and for the foreseeable future but I get your point. I have mentioned the usefulness of certain DOS tools and that many Linux users seem to have found this out for themselves (at my website). Possibly the screwdrive is an 'eternal truth' that need not be set aside? If so, it was surely accidental but in no way less opportune having not been planned. ;-) Charles.Angelich "DOS Ghost" Tech Website : http://www.undercoverdesign.com/dosghost/ Music,Photos,Stories,etc. Website : http://www.undercoverdesign.com/dosghost/faf/ Default Browser HomePage : http://www.undercoverdesign.com/dosghost/homepage.asp To unsubscribe from SURVPC send a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with unsubscribe SURVPC in the body of the message.
