That's true ... I was just thinking that if the index files were cross-platform, one didn't need to build the index on the mirrors - just install the search scripts on the mirror, and have it use the index that is being mirrored from the master. It's a bit simpler to set up, and so might make for better mirroring. But if, as you say, there may be questions of the index files not being cross-platform, this may not be worth the trouble. best regards, randy --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
