"I have been on this list for many years ..." and "Answer correctly or don't answer at all.". You've been on misc@ for many years and expect correct answers or respectful silence? My goodness, your optimism seems impervious to experience. You've been on misc@ for many years, yell at several developers giving you correct answers and expect to get better support? Interesting approach. Looks like my first post to misc@ was only in 1998 so perhaps I have insufficient experience to opine. .... Ken
