Finally, the way you use (including it) will start a new thread of pccons, which may or may not break further patches made by Terry's (in)official patchkit. But that are only remarks, not directly a "flame", you haven't really heard me flaming yet ;-) >Mark >--------- >Mark Simpson >SoftAge Solutions.
