I didn't say it is okay. The above should explain the quality difference in piping and linking which makes people think that there is a difference in copyright law. There isn't, IMNSHO. I think exactly the opposite: It doesn't matter if you use piping, linking, exec() or whatever. Thanks, Marcus -- `Rhubarb is no Egyptian god.'
