Maybe it couldn't happen with WinNT, maybe NT is more secure than UNIX? Maybe without source code it is harder to find the security holes? Open systems cut both ways.

Just some things to think about, I'm not saying WinNT and Mac are more secure than UNIX. I'm just wondering if they might be. Tony -- ------------------ Tony Tribelli adtribelli@acm.org
