I do a bit of hacking on the source, But I try to build only the affected areas manually.. I was unaware that make all was smart enough to build only the affected items. Still learning the make abilities.. A never ending process.. :) > If on the other hand you're not planning on re-compiling it, > then by all means do a "make clean" and free up some space! Of course clearing up space is the goal, But not at the expence of the time to re-make em.. :) I'll leave em. Thanks for the tip James.. -Enjoy Gary ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Improve America's Knowledge...
