OS/2 no problem, > Windows great, Solaris easy, FreeBSD WHAT A FRIGGIN JOKE!!! Your Given the tone of this message, I don't think that I'm going to bother answering it and I'd like to request that no one else reward this brand of rudeness with an answer either. The above statement was as gratiutous as it was unnecessary, an I don't care how frustrated the user was - he can behave like a professional or he can go elsewhere. For what it's worth, the problem is actually quite simple and is not a bug at all. Perhaps if the user had learned earlier on in life that kicking someone in the teeth for giving him something for free was not appropriate behavior, we'd have gotten somewhere with this. As it is, I have absolutely no inclination to help Mr. Taylor and, all things considered, would much prefer that he stick with Linux. Users with his attitude we can genuinely do without, and there are more than enough potential users who DON'T suffer from such personality disorders that we should put our very limited time and energies into helping them. The flamers can go commercial, where the support people are at least paid to be abused. Jordan
