But the license is the reason why it is being dropped and my whole point.

I thought I had included the URL there. As to it being flamebait, sometimes the truth hurts. ;-) Cheers, Chris _______________________________________________ yellowdog-general mailing list [email protected] http://lists.terrasoftsolutions.com/mailman/listinfo/yellowdog-general HINT: to Google archives, try '<keywords> site:terrasoftsolutions.com'
