As a contributor to this mailing list, I'd like to remind everyone that politeness extends both ways. Questions of the sort "you idiots have screwed up my system!" are similarly unwelcome here. Please remember that the software you have, and the help offered here, are given freely by the contributors. Thanks to everyone here. -- Wes Peters | Yes I am a pirate, two hundred years too late Softweyr | The cannons don't thunder, there's nothing to plunder Consulting | I'm an over forty victim of fate... wes@intele.net | Jimmy Buffett
