As I replied to his post, I agree that given enough time between searching archives and the free lists one can get an answer.

Usually I give the search/free list 3 to 4 days before I start to get desperate. :-) Specially if there is a project held up because I can't find an answer. > There is also <URL:http://bsdforums.org/>http://bsdforums.org/...if you > weren't already aware...
