Can you actually provide them? The issue is that I am between you and someone at a hosting provider. This hosting provider interaction is not real time. Thus, I would like to queue as many information requests in one transaction as I can. I've forwarded this request in the interests of some measure of efficiency. I will get back to you with the response. In the meanwhile, is there a useful debug mode or a way to recompile the loader with debug code in it? I realize this may not be possible, but it never hurts to ask. -- Dave Hayes - Consultant - Altadena CA, USA - dave@jetcafe.org >>>> *The opinions expressed above are entirely my own* <<<< Compassion will cure more sins than condemnation.
