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 http://bsdforums.org/...if you > weren't already aware... Actually I am aware of the forums, but must admit have not tried them. I think I will give them a try. Thanks for your feedback.
