There is a difference between using the `-s' link option and using strip after linking; in my experience the latter worked on NT, while the former didn't. -- Fergus Henderson | "I have always known that the pursuit WWW: | of excellence is a lethal habit" PGP: finger fjh@128.250.37.3 | -- the last words of T.
