Thanks for posting that one. It hadn't turned up in any of my searches and if it was in any documents I already looked at, I must have missed it. Anyway, it's exactly the type of material I was hoping to be able to point others to. While we're on the topic of patches, I found them reasonably straight forward to install though I'm not by any stretch of the imagination a programmer. My take on the whole thing is that the patches are small enough that a person or even small team who has the skill and inclination, can audit the changes. On the shallow end of the pool, the content of 009_timezone.patch was something that even I could follow and understand and (by my interpretations) demonstrates the principle behind the patches. Anyway, I can see that a lot of coordination went into them and I am quite happy about that aspect, which IMHO should not go overlooked. -Lars Lars NoodC)n ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) Ensure access to your data now and in the future http://opendocumentfellowship.org/about_us/contribute
