Occaisonally, but you'd do better hitting this list in general. I'm on a new job and I'm giving it a LOT of hours; you might wait a week for me to find time to generate an answer. It depends on your questions, too. If you demonstrate by your question's topic and focus that you've made a *hard* effort to answer it on yourself, *loads* of folks will help. If it looks like just another person looking for a free ride (and there's so many of those that we get a bit defensive) then you wouldn't expect too much. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Chuck Robey | Interests include C & Java programming, FreeBSD, chuckr@picnic.chuckr.org| electronics, communications, and signal processing.
