You know Mike you are really full of shit. The amount of noise that goes thru is way to high and the search engine on our web page is to say the least not as good as it should be. I realized that we sort of have a tongue and cheek attitute on this unix newsgroup;however, can you tone it down a little.. Additionally, if you are not going to anwer the question then why bother posting ... As for little notes on weird behavior , I think that it will be a good idea if it went into a web page. Amancio
