The solution for that is in Jeff's earlier reply, below. > Thanks > Robert > > -----Original Message----- > From: Jeff Chan [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sent: Monday, July 19, 2004 3:55 PM > To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Subject: Re: Using BigEvil > > > On Monday, July 19, 2004, 3:43:26 PM, Robert Bartlett wrote: > > So real quick is BigEvil just a cf file that SA just reads?
