More likely to work? http://unix.derkeiler.com/Mailing-Lists/FreeBSD/questions/2007-07/msg01919.html That will work just fine using flash7. When you need flash9, thats a different story. works on 6.2, 6.3, 7.0-current, 7.0-betaX, and 8.0-current. -- ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Philip M.
