since the day billy baba decided jumping to the middle of an opcode was great programming practice. On a less sarcastic note, the M$ business model dictates backward compatability. The problems in doze are because of design. Any change would mean revamping the entire codebase and destroying backward compatability and most likely the company. They have painted themseleves into the corner of a deep well. So much for the much touted business abilities of the company. -- Rgds JTD -- http://mm.glug-bom.org/mailman/listinfo/linuxers
