And I was wrong to say that there was *nothing* wrong with that setup. However, it was not *entirely* wrong, either (allthough a peculiar setup). It's just that it's always worked for me, but it seems I was lucky. Btw, do you have any pointers to that standard? And also; could you try to fix your line lenght problem? Svein Halvor
