I cannot wholly agree with the referral Diane. It is to _this_ list that these people will come to in their quest for help. They will never willingly want to get involved in what they perceive as our petty squabbles by joining a list whose main reason de`terre is to argue the fine points. I agree the thing has been talked to death, and that each of us will do as we see is the proper thing to do. So lets drop it, and each of us get on with the job at hand, that of answering the users questions if we can. If we cannot elicite enough info from the user because of intentional version munging or whatever, the best we can do is suggest they get and install the most recent stable. They will eventually educate themselves as to the differences I suspect. -- Cheers, Gene "There are four boxes to be used in defense of liberty: soap, ballot, jury, and ammo.
