Okay, good to know. At for what it's worth, I was trying to imply I was offended. I just don't actually use openmpi anymore, so I don't have a sense of how useful it is, since I'm not employing it regularly. I was vaguely worried, that's all. <3 Jay -- Jay McCarthy <j...@cs.byu.edu> Assistant Professor / Brigham Young University http://faculty.cs.byu.edu/~jay "The glory of God is Intelligence" - D&C 93 ____________________ Racket Users list: http://lists.racket-lang.org/users
