I looked at the port he referred to, but I don't see how it applies to my situation. So I stated that and asked for help. None has been forthcoming, but I haven't pushed it either. I know everyone is busy. I certainly am. And we're all volunteers as well. So, I'm not complaining. I just want to understand what the right way is to solve this particular problem and get the port committed. I've cc'd both of them as well as portmgr. I'll do whatever I'm told to do. Paul Schmehl, If it isn't already obvious, my opinions are my own and not those of my employer. ****************************************** WARNING: Check the headers before replying
