Also a very important reason to put dates in documentation - I sometimes do a cnt-i in firefox in an attempt to find the date - but often it is misleading - something spit out by php.. Clue lines like: "as of may 2012" or "as of kernel x.y.z" can be of great help down the road. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Karl Schmidt EMail [email protected] Transtronics, Inc.
