If you are dealing with portability issues, then compiling the source is less time consuming. Because it eliminates the administrative overhead of managing machines entire package versions. If you are loading from a CD then precompiled makes alot of sense. Especially for hardware/software suppliers. Ken Jones http://www.inter7.com/vqsignup/
