Although I agree with Larry in this case, the question "Why would you want to do that anyway?" is usually followed by someone finding a good reason to do so, and I consider it a very dangerous question. -- Alan Batie +1 503 640-4013 1221 N.E. 51st, #227 batie@agora.hf.intel.com Hillsboro, OR 97124 tektronix!tessi!agora!batie
