Shows how long it's been since I was paying attention. Since I never even bothered to look at the Makefile in a long time I never noticed the WITHOUT_LINUX=yes, which is new and since the default is to build the Linux support it just passed by me. But I stand corrected. Hadn't noticed how it had changed. Thanks for waking me up :-) -Mike
