It's like a loader, as far as I know.

I had to rebuild my laptop recently and I only copied the TB! and mailbox directory to my newly rebuilt system, imported the saved registry info and voila...it's working w/o any problems. I don't think there are many email clients available that can be used without any installation. -- Best regards, Dick ___________________________________________________________ A weak mind is like a microscope.
