Sorry, I've got VMware on the brain at present, and missed the fact that you are using MS VS. We had time keeping problems with that too. And far worse ones with FreeBSD ATA drives dropping of the system and the unforgiveable fault of data corruption on Windows drives. Though the latter problem has been fixed, we've abandoned MS VS, VMware suits us better. -- Adrian Wontroba Organic chemistry is the chemistry of carbon compounds.
