Interesting problem? BTW I don't know of the relevance of this, but Quarterback tools says that the "hard disk" NET: has a max transfer of 2megs (seems like the answer), well the questions is how do I increase the limit, the documentation does not hint at any such restriction, or shareware registration. Any Ideas??? -- ======================================================================= David Jeffery cpdrj@marlin.jcu.edu.au | "I'm Bart Simpson, | who the hell are you"
