Good Luck next week let us know how you did. You will be fine. I have found a few objectional questions from cert-zone, but they are quick to accept input and make corrections to their material where necessary or expand on why and what the thinking was behind the question. They are a dedicated group of people. You should post the question to the main [EMAIL PROTECTED] list, there are many contributers to cert-zone that regularly read the board. You can probably get the author or one of their technical reviewers to clarify the issue for you on that board. I am going to copy those groups in this response so that everyone can benefit, being that those are widely published questions in these parts. Don
