Yes. > If so, how? Write a program. I bet Perl can do it! Give it a try and let us know how it works out for you. If you're looking for someone to write it for you, I'm sure some of the people on this list would be willing to write it for a reasonable fee. If you're trying to save some money, maybe you should try writing it by yourself before turning to others for help. -- Chris Devers -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] <http://learn.perl.org/> <http://learn.perl.org/first-response>
