Well, he has been told by just about everyone who bothers to reply that his script is the problem not emerge. It's amazing how so many of us use emerge all the time and generally it does what it is supposed to do but for this Alan, it does something different. What is also a surprise, Alan hasn't figured out that his script is the problem. One thing about a jackhammer, it will tear up whatever you put it on. His jackhammer script and methodology has sure done that for him. Me, I'm going to town and find a air filter for my neighbors tiller. That is something more productive. ;-) Dale :-) :-)
