In other words, you don't do that at all. My special handling for such things - and *especially* for entertainment software, where the media gets handled by children - is "Return that POS." Worse yet, you play semantic games so you can claim not to be violating fair use rights in the process. <mike -- Mike Meyer <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> http://www.mired.org/home/mwm/ Independent WWW/Perforce/FreeBSD/Unix consultant, email for more information. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
