Does this sound crazy to anyone? On the side note, The entity, &ms.win.95 (or any other windows entity) should expand to: "Microsoft Windows 95" The mark is very important. We also need to add an entity for "UNIX", which expands to: "UNIX" This is just my opinion of how it should be done. -- Hiten __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
