No, there is not a single hair on my head       which would think of creating such a "solution". Sorry.                     Luckily I have some finished pstore code, as well as most of the registry       account-retrieval code. A bit more work tomorrow and I will have a nice       function which I can feed a newsgroup-servers name and get its username and       password back.              Regards,       Rudy Wieser              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
