Mostly when I have got errors like this, memory is short... So, why doesn't the programs say so??? (or better still: give a warning first... Impression is good at this, it gives you the option of trying to cope...) -- Dag Haakon Myrdal, student of electronics -- email: dhmyrdal@solan.unit.no (-SUN internet, Trondheim) snail: DH Myrdal, Moholt Alle 2-01, N-7035 Trondheim, Norway phone: +47 7 588244
