Thanks for the super fast responses guys, amazing.
Jeff, thanks, i had tried the popen, but was never able to get the syntax to
make it work properly. just too much of a n00b. thanks though.
Bruce, the .NET calls worked perfectly. my next step was going to be to try
to build a dll to make it work, but this is so much easier.
Thanks for the super help guys. Dragged me out of the fire.
