> aarrgghh! Yes. But the point is that people seem to want that. But when working with a computer getting any message back I'm usually abled to figure out what was meant. More stupid are technical books translated from English to German. I understand that may not always be easy to decide what to translate and what to leave untouched. > "Pfeife zerbrochen" (English: broken pipe) Doesn't that hurd? ;-) (who doesn't speak German, don't try to understand this one) Cheers, Rocco.
