Thanks Troy, this just the kind of information we needed. I don't know why but I never thought to look in CVS on Crosswire, just Source Forge. I have it checked out now. I'll see if I can get it to compile, and then come asking questions, which I am (also) sure there will be. Darrell, et all, just holler if you have a particular passion/interest and we'll see what we can get going here. /mike -- ****************************************** Mike Dougherty -- Java Software Engineer ****************************************** Life may have no meaning, or, even worse, it may have a meaning of which you disapprove.
