   Even the executables which depend on a GUI ?   :-)

   Lol.  I get offered work-arounds when I say *NOT* to want them, and even   
   though I mention that I already found a working one myself.   
      
   As for my "very tightly" ?  Yeah, thats /exactly/ because people refuse to   
   listen.  The less (background) information I provide, the less chance they   
   go off on a tangent.

   Try to answer the question and I wil thank you.  Pay me disrespect by keep   
   pushing what I specifically mentioned I don't want or need and you won't get   
   my respect either.   
      
   Or, to put it more bluntly : As long as someone refuses to work inside the   
   boundaries I set than their "trying to help" is nothing more than them lying   
   to themselves and wasting my time.   
      
   ... or maybe you want the same treatment as I offered Newyana2  I just say   
   "thank you" - regardless of what you posted is in any way usable.   
      
      
   Now I think of it, that would likely put a hard stop to all of the   
   not-answering-the question crap ...   I might even try it.
