I might have already gone too far, but changing the hardcoded locations of files for convenience (as opposed to function, like sendmail) is going farther still (IMHO). > Heh heh heh... there's always one more! ;-) Luckily, my notes for 1.93 > only take up 7 pages in my journal (the 1.92 notes were probably twice > that!) Yeah, it's certainly not the easiest beast to install, is it ? Thankfully 1.94a has addressed many of those concerns, but it's still not stabe enough to port. Maybe a beta or pre-release. j. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- | James FitzGibbon james@nexis.net | | Integrator, The Nexis Group Voice/Fax : 416 410-0100 | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------
