Sometimes. But, no matter how easy it is, if you rely on your customers to install some third party SW that's required for your program to work, they'll figure out a way to screw it up. If you're shipping a Windows program, you can barely count on the target machine having a working base Windows install. Expecting something else to be there is pure fantasy. -- Grant -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
