That's the bane of non-free/closed source in a free system... Maybe if we keep buging lucent or whoever to compile a version for this or that they'll just get fed up and say "oh, hell, here's the source, compile it yourself." To which we reply: "Gladly :)" Or am I missing something... is there some legal problem as to why they don't release source? -- Pat Mahoney <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> For children with short attention spans: boomerangs that don't come back.
