Actually, if our kernel was documented even half as well as NTs, we'd be total gods. Just because Microsoft does a lot of things wrong doesn't mean it does _everything_ wrong (and before 50 people all chime in about how NT's docs are definitely deficient in areas B, C and D, bear in mind that I'm talking about _comparative_ magnitude - NTs docs may leave you high and dry in some areas, but ours leave you wondering why you even bought a boat in the first place :-). > Eagerly awating documentation... ;) Hope (s)he's good. I'll be interviewing (s)he today [well, multiple (s)hes], so we'll just have to see. ;-) Jordan
