I was a Pascal/C/Fortran/Assembler programmer 20 years ago ;-). Today it is possible for me to write script programs and a little bit in C/C++. I don't know anything about perl so it seems impossible for me to write the above script. I will try to unzip the necessary file and copy it to the destination. Maybee someone else needs the above script too and let me participate at his delivery :-) have a great day Matthias -- Don't Panic ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Check out the new SourceForge.net Marketplace.
