It wouldn't be the first time that someone kicked off some code, found that it was running too slowly, removed the sleep timers and tried again. However, if this were the case, trying to find and localize the initial "slow worm" compared to the later release would be difficult to say the least. Jack Bates BrightNet Oklahoma
