If this issue is important to you, then you should be willing to invest the effort to address it. Asking other people to do this work (which is likely to be tedious and dull) is not likely to work very well. Another alternative would be to hire a consultant to audit the code for you. Money is a great incentive for people to do things that they're otherwise unlikely to do. Matthew -- Matthew Hunt * UNIX is a lever for the intellect. -J.R.
