The whole point of my scenario was that I might need this thing "real quick" to fix a problem I'm seeing. How many people need long-term reliable access to an HTML validator? Those that need that sort of thing installed it all long ago, right? Otherwise, it's just some Perl guy trying to make a buck and trying to debug something on some unfamiliar system. -- </chris> No, no, you're not thinking, you're just being logical. -Niels Bohr, physicist (1885-1962)
