It works with HDB present. Since async_main doesn't depend on the uucp tables/programs, it doesn't matter which you use. async_main uses the ph system's databases. About the only thing that ph and uucp share are the lockfiles, and HDB was configured to put them in the old location to maintain compatability with the ph stuff. Don't worry - it works DoN. -- Donald Nichols (DoN.) | Voice (Days): (703) 664-1585 D&D Data | Voice (Eves): (703) 938-4564 Disclaimer: from here - None | Email: --- Black Holes are where God is dividing by zero ---
