I understand       how that works, but still, sometimes it is time to move on. However, I       still prefer IrfanView under Win than the alternatives.                     --       Mike Easter              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
