Unix sort of handles things differently than Windows memory-wise, and only having had access to older lower powered *nix machines previously, I wasn't used to seeing stats such as I posted. The question was answered in the thread though I gotta say. Your point is well taken however, and your quiet cautionary note is well understood. Thanks for taking the time to warn me against stuff like this. (It's really hard to begin to know where to start learning some of this stuff sometimes!!) Kind Regards, -Colin
