Maybe you       figured out it will suffice in your situation but I fear for the       practical result.              Of course, putting this all together won't be a one time job, you'll       have to maintain it and that would ultimately put me off; you're just       shifting the work to a dead end.              Fine for a "can it be done" hobby project.              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
