I have compiled it, but I don't remember doing anything special to get it to compile. I have purged it, since it wasn't reliable enough to be worth using. I estimated it had an error rate of about 20% of the characters. That means that at least 50% of all words were wrong, which I consider to be totally useless. -- Carl Johnson [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
