That's a political question, and probably should be asked on current. The answer you're going to get, though, is to go ahead and write up your changes, and see what kind of a reception they get. You won't get anyone to agree to give you permission to make changes until they see what those changes are. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Chuck Robey | Interests include C & Java programming, FreeBSD, [EMAIL PROTECTED] | electronics, communications, and signal processing.
