Not easily, but I will try. If it helps, I will clarify what I was talking about -- in hindsight it is a little unclear. Most software written (I think about 95%) is by companies for in-house use only. Since it never gets distributed outside of the company using it, copyright is of little additional value. -- Steven. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
