Anyone who chooses a fileserver which won't work reliably over one that will - when the one that will has already been paid for, and the one that won't will cost the company about L2,000 extra - simply because the unreliable one has a pretty login screen _is_ an idiot. I'm sorry; there's no way round that. Roger
