I don't think it would be useful to everyone, except those who work mostly at the system level, and perhaps Charles himself for his testing work ;-). -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The information transmitted is intended only for the person or entity to which it is addressed and may contain confidential and/or privileged material.
