-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Please everyone involved make sure to go back and read Robert Nelson's message from October 6th to the list. He explains some of this stuff to me and why this may/may not work. Apparently he does not have the time to read the list regularly (I can certainly relate), so consider Cc:'ing him on Windows-related matters, as I believe he was the gentleman responsible for porting the -sd and -dir to Windows.
