That's a lot of traffic - a lot of which isn't going to mean anything to a lot of people. I would prefer that they maintain a list of customers and their packages - and mail the bugs of interest to those parties. Alternatively - a bulletin board for bugs in their own right. But you're right - it would be nice to know that they exist BEFORE spending 12 hours debugging them. j. _____________________________________________________________________________ Jack Parker | Hewlett Packard, BSMC Boise, Idaho, USA| Your .sig has expired, please enter jparker@hpbs2561.boi.hp.com | a new one.
