Your right, and I'l appologize for my initial comments. In my
initial posting I didn't mean to be complaintive (though I tend to do a
good job of it in the real world with out realizing it). I started to
get surrly when I got hot-toasties (vs warm fuzzies), and my initial
reply was made when I was upset (I had just read Dirk's reply to my
posting). I was told go read the README (which was the first things I
did seeing that there was a nother, new, README) and found it in error.
Dirk, I'm sorry for implying that your work wasn't good.
As to thoughs still sending me hate mail; push off and take a
cold shower.
