Nope :-) It would be useful if you could do some investigating of this. Either try running it under a debugger like Rhide, or put a load of printf statements between each line in main(), and redirect them into a file (eg. "demo > log"), so you can see exactly how far it is getting before something makes it quit. If you could locate exactly where it goes wrong, it would be a big help to me (there isn't otherwise a lot I can do, since it works fine on my machine). -- Shawn Hargreaves - shawn AT talula DOT demon DOT co DOT uk - http://www.talula.demon.co.uk/ Beauty is a French phonetic corruption of a short cloth neck ornament.
