John Dyson for president! :) (just kidding >Jordan). I thought this was a forgone conclusion? Wasn't there a one-liner where we decided "Oh yea, *that's* why we're going to ELF, and then the two or three people who actually have the know-how to do this (Soren and John Polstra spring to mind, there must be a few others) ran off to puzzle this out. I imagine when they have the time to finish this problem, you're going to see a mega-commit to -current moving us to ELF. But, then again, I could just be blowing smoke. It's happened [far too many] times before... Happy trails, Brian
