I feel like being cheated. :( ^_^ There are a number of things to consider here: 1. Well, I don't know if it's *that* stupid, but it's strange. 2. Did you install the package via the port, or did you do it some other way? I had no problems at all with the port. 3. What date did you have set? I seem to recall you sending mail (presumably recently) with a date of October 1996. That could have confused StarWriter. Greg
