It's preferable to do this to avoid getting the same answer posted multiple times on the net. There is way too much traffic in this newsgroup already. I always (well, almost always) send answers by mail rather than posting a followup. You can always send mail to the person who asked a question and see if he got an answer. --GaryM -- Gary Morris {uunet,ucsd}!telesoft!garym TeleSoft N6FRT garym@telesoft.com San Diego, CA, USA ASEL garym@nynashamn.telelogic.se +1 619 457-2700 "If something is worth doing, it's worth doing right."
