There was a lot of dicussion and FUMING on this matrix by all of us - because of course none of us agree on what any of the products do or don't do. Mr. Druker also has "oracle" in his .sig - which is slightly suspicious. But check out the latest copy of whatever he's got and use your own judgement. cheers j. _____________________________________________________________________________ Jack Parker - Contractor | Hewlett Packard, BSMC Boise, Idaho, USA| If you keep staring at it like that, jparker@hpbs2561.boi.hp.com | your nose is going to grow (208) 396-5388 (W) (208) 384-1623 (H) | into the bark. _____________________________________________________________________________ Any opinions expressed herein are my own and not those of my employers. _____________________________________________________________________________
