If you do something at the command line - then you can all but script this 'change map' in your sleep.... { when I was young 'half-life' dealt with radiation, and a LAN party was that fun filled and exciting time trying to get the network back up... so mixing and matching.... } ciao drieux http://www.wetware.com/drieux/pbl/ -------------- This space left intentionally blank. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
