While possibly justifiable, given that FrontPage has had holes you could drive a London double-decker but through since time immemorial, it isn't a terribly helpful observation. And they clearly *are* using FrontPage extensions, since the OP states that rsync and RoboCopy leave "the front page extensions and navigation/etc [...] broken". Not everyone reads the literature even well enough to know about well-known problems like FrontPage. Whether such ignorance deserves to be punished by such open-ended retribution is arguable, and I think I'd come down on the "no" side. The only mistake they made was trusting the vendor to provide secure solutions ... [Andrew: sorry to drag you into this discussion - I don't know whether you were aware of FrontPage's security issues or not. If not, you should certainly think about reading up on them]. regards Steve -- Steve Holden +1 571 484 6266 +1 800 494 3119 Holden Web LLC/Ltd http://www.holdenweb.com Skype: holdenweb http://del.icio.us/steve.holden --------------- Asciimercial ------------------ Get on the web: Blog, lens and tag the Internet Many services currently offer free registration ----------- Thank You for Reading ------------- -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
