Be ready with lots of paper. Get out scissors and glue. Invite all the puzzle buffs you know over, offer pizza and prizes to whoever finds the data you need. You might want to spend some time working on that command-line before you commit to spending all that money on paper, glue, pizza and whatever. If any of the data you are after was encrypted, or even just zipped, or even in MS-Word format, you might want to give up right away. -- Håkon Alstadheim spamtrap: [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- 1 hit & you are out -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
