I believe I have received all (or atleast most) of the posted binaries, although one or two failed (PK)ARC's CRC check when unpacking :-(. I enjoy seeing binaries posted to the net (the bigger the better :-). Although in many cases I already have the software; every once in a while I pick up a newer version, or some package that I otherwise wouldn't have known about... This makes it all worthwhile!!! -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- -- Erik A.
