Gaaacck! Sputter... Mutter... No wonder I spent 10 minutes trying to figure out what I was typing wrong since I knew darned well it worked the last time I fooled with it, using the keywords on and off instead of the numerical. Mt needs more informative error messages thats for sure. I apparently didn't have presence of mind enough to check the manpage. Me Dumb! Thanks Jean-Louis. -- Cheers, Gene AMD K6-III@500mhz 320M Athlon1600XP@1400mhz 512M 99.22% setiathome rank, not too shabby for a WV hillbilly
