If you believe that to be true, you aren't paying attention. I've done exactly that more than once. Anytime I believe the job someone is trying to do requires custom programming or similar work, I'll discuss why I believe that in my answer on -questions (so that if I'm wrong and a simple solution exists, someone has a chance to point it out), and end with an offer to discuss my doing it for them off-line. You also seem to be implying that Ted is withholding answers in the hope that it will increase his income. I think you owe him another apology. http://www.mired.org/home/mwm/ Independent WWW/Perforce/FreeBSD/Unix consultant, email for more information.
