Inadequacies too. So what FreeBSD cannot solve, Linux will probably solve. FreeBSD loses a follower as Linux gains one.

If not, just look for the right forum and share the problematic code and you might get advice on how to update it. -- Best regards, Odhiambo WASHINGTON, Nairobi,KE +254 7 3200 0004/+254 7 2274 3223 "Oh, the cruft.", egrep -v "^$|^.*#" :-)
