Oh boy...Having writing over 40,000 lines of PM code (in C), I can relate to what you are saying (I have run into some nasty snags in my career). However, don't let your emotions get the best of you. Remember, the newsgroup can be your best friend. Ask questions. Ask LOTS of questions. If we don't know the answer, it can be found. Of course, I'm giving you the benefit of the doubt. Your post sounds like you're another "Unix puke", and if I had half a mind (and my morning cup of coffee), I'd nuke you, like I did the last guy who tried to invade. But I'm feeling "kang kai" (Chinese for "generous") this morning... ;) Cheers, Larry Salomon, Jr. (aka 'Q') LARRYS@YKTVMV.BITNET OS/2 Applications and Tools larrys@ibmman.watson.ibm.com IBM T.J.
