It just might work then. If you don't, you can't expect it too work. Since you don't care, yadda, yadda, yadda, etc, I'll tell you anyway: if you don't install something that's needed to make something else work and you don't get the results you want, it won't work. No ifs, ands, or buts about it, it just won't work. And that's a fact, Jack. Don
