Other than you feeling uneasy about the possibility of uncovering bugs because this hasn't been widely done like this before, do you have any other concerns, or do you think the possibility of finding bugs very likely? -sc -- Sean Chittenden ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 1: subscribe and unsubscribe commands go to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
