ps: please answer via private mail, i cant follow the list because the disk of the mailserver im using is full since 2 days :(
Those of you with answers to these questions, PLEASE don't only answer them in private email, even if that's what the questioner thinks they want. We are all reading the Q&A and learning, so please at least Cc to the list. In the case of the questions from bertl, the answers look like they'd be extremely useful, so it's quite annoying to wonder whether we'll ever see them.
I'd go further: unless you have a really compelling reason (like a security hole), asking for help on a list without being willing to subscribe to it (in digest, if you like) is rude. Among other problems (like "my bandwidth is more important than yours, even though I'm the one asking for help"), if you don't read the list, you'll likely miss the three times this week your question was answered. -- ========================================================= Tres Seaver tseaver@palladion.com 713-523-6582 Palladion Software http://www.palladion.com
