I didn't see any previous postings under your name, so I am assuming that maybe you don't know this. Most folks responding to the -questions mailing list are running 4.3 Stable or earlier. My guess is that few watching the list would venture to answer 5.0-current questions. Hope this helps. Cheers - On Fri, Jun 29, 2001 at 04:14:15PM -0400, Louis LeBlanc wrote: > Hey all.
